EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Farewell: Hyams of Oxford Street, 1918 Amidst the bustling halls of Hyams of Oxford Street, a renowned boys' outfitters in Leeds, Birmingham, and Wolverhampton, a group of well-dressed young boys eagerly await their departure. The year is 1918, and the first signs of change are in the air. The boys, clad in impeccable suits and polished shoes, are likely on their way to boarding school, ready to embark on a new chapter in their lives. The eldest boy, with a determined expression on his face, receives assistance from a smartly-dressed butler. The butler, with an air of quiet efficiency, helps him don his coat, ensuring it sits just right before the boy takes his first steps towards an uncertain future. Hyams of Oxford Street, an establishment with a rich history, has been providing first-class boys' clothing at moderate prices since its inception. The privilege of a Hyams outfit was a coveted one, a symbol of status and refinement. The boys in this photograph embody the essence of childhood innocence, tinged with a hint of apprehension and excitement. As the boys bid farewell to their families and friends, they carry their luggage with a sense of pride, knowing that they are well-equipped for the challenges that lie ahead. The scene is a poignant reminder of the transitional moment in their lives, a moment of farewell to their childhood and a step towards adulthood.
