Castleford Celebrations Congregation Follow Font Hear Jubilee Parish Pews Pulpit Radio Technology Ultra 1935 Hightown
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from 1935, Ultra radio equipment is set up in the historic Hightown Parish Church in Castleford, Yorkshire, to allow the congregation to follow the celebrations marking the Silver Jubilee of King George V. The church, with its ornate Gothic arch and intricately designed stained-glass windows, provides a striking contrast to the modern technology of the radio set. The silver Ultra radio, a symbol of the latest communications technology of the 1930s, sits atop a table in the church, its antenna reaching towards the high ceiling. The pulpit, adorned with a royal crest, stands in the background, emphasizing the significance of the occasion. The pews are filled with attentive parishioners, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly listening to the broadcast. The font, a traditional baptismal font, adds to the sense of history and tradition in the church. The atmosphere is one of communal celebration, as the congregation comes together to mark this important milestone in British history. The Ultra radio, with its advanced capabilities, enables the congregation to hear the festivities taking place in London, bringing the celebrations closer to home. This photograph captures the spirit of the 1930s, a time of innovation and tradition, as the church embraces new technology to connect with the wider world.
