EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from 1985, we see the beloved Meltham newsagent, Mrs Annie Woodhead, continuing a cherished village tradition of giving out sweets to local children on Collop Monday. With her warm smile and kind eyes, Mrs Woodhead stands at her doorstep surrounded by eager schoolchildren who have come to collect their treats. Collop Monday is a special day in Meltham when children traditionally receive sweets as they make their way to school. However, on this particular day captured in the photograph, the half-term holiday has just begun, allowing both Mrs Woodhead and her young charges to enjoy a more leisurely hand-out. The image transports us back to the 1980s - an era filled with innocence and nostalgia. It reminds us of simpler times when small gestures like these brought immense joy to children's lives. The sight of excited faces eagerly reaching out for their favorite candies evokes memories of carefree childhoods spent in close-knit communities. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents the enduring power of traditions that bind communities together. Mrs Annie Woodhead's dedication to upholding this age-old custom showcases the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. As we gaze upon this touching scene from Meltham's past, it serves as a reminder that sometimes it is the simplest acts of kindness that leave lasting imprints on our hearts and create treasured memories that endure through all our yesterdays.
