EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Pupils of Ross Place School, Ardwick, Manchester, jump across a sea of mud to enter school" we are transported back in time to December 1970. The image captures the resilience and determination of young boys as they navigate through challenging conditions just to receive an education. Located in Greater Manchester, Ross Place School stands tall in the background while a group of children eagerly leap over a vast expanse of muddy terrain. Their uniforms are disheveled and their faces show both excitement and trepidation. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by these children on a daily basis. The scene also sheds light on the state of education during that era. Health and safety standards were not what they are today, evident from the hazardous environment these pupils had to traverse each day. Yet despite these unfavorable circumstances, their eagerness to learn shines through. Alfred Markey's expert eye for capturing raw emotions is evident in this photograph. Through his lens, he immortalizes this moment forever – freezing it in time for us all to reflect upon the challenges faced by generations past. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to glimpse into history; it reminds us how far we have come in terms of providing safe learning environments for our children. It also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit within every child who strives against adversity for knowledge and brighter futures
