EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at Sacred Heart RC school in Gorton, Manchester. In the small corridor of this bustling school, some of the 180 children find solace when rain prevents them from playing outside. It is evident that space is limited as both students and teachers share this corridor for different purposes. The image showcases the resilience and adaptability of these young minds as they make the most out of their confined play area. Despite the lack of open space, their laughter and energy fill every corner, creating an atmosphere brimming with joy. Not only does this corridor serve as a playground substitute, but it also doubles as a staff room during tea breaks for dedicated teachers. This dual-purpose usage highlights the resourcefulness required to navigate limited resources within educational institutions during this era. Taken in December 1970 by Alfred Markey, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into an important aspect of daily life at Sacred Heart RC school. It serves as a reminder that even under challenging circumstances, creativity can flourish and bonds can be formed within tight spaces. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, let us appreciate the determination exhibited by both students and educators alike to make the best out of what they had available to them.
