For the last few weeks at the St Lukes Primary School
For the last few weeks at the St Lukes Primary School, Manchester have been putting away threepence a week to go on a picnic with a difference, for this is a picnic in the snow. These kiddies never see proper snow because it soon gets dirty in the centre of the city, so the headmistress Miss Ethel Parkinson decided to organise this trip for them. 17th January 1959

EDITORS COMMENTS
For the last few weeks at St. Lukes Primary School in Manchester, the children have been eagerly saving up threepence a week for a special picnic unlike any other. This unique outing is set to take place in the glistening snow, an experience rarely seen by these city-dwelling youngsters due to its quick transformation into dirty slush. Headmistress Miss Ethel Parkinson took it upon herself to organize this extraordinary trip, recognizing the joy and wonder that fresh snowfall brings. On 17th January 1959, she will lead her excited students on an unforgettable adventure through winter's icy embrace. The anticipation among the children is palpable as they imagine themselves frolicking amidst nature's frozen beauty. The photograph captures their eager faces brimming with excitement and curiosity about what lies ahead. This snapshot from the 1950s perfectly encapsulates a moment of innocence and simplicity, where children find pure delight in something as simple as playing in freshly fallen snow. It serves as a reminder of how even small gestures can create lasting memories and bring immeasurable happiness to young hearts. Geoff Thomas skillfully immortalizes this charming scene, allowing us to glimpse into a time when snowy picnics were cherished events that brought communities together and created bonds between generations.
