EDITORS COMMENTS
A Treasured Memory: The Mayor of Oldham's Lamb Holiday Fund, 1932 This evocative photograph captures a special moment in Oldham's history, as the Mayor and Mayoress (Alderman and Mrs Hague) of the town, along with three lucky schoolchildren and their new friends, Michael, Mary, and Mona, the sheep, embark on a memorable trip to Fleetwood on Tuesday 5th July 1932. The Mayor of Oldham's Lamb Holiday Fund was a charitable initiative established to provide an opportunity for children in their final year of school who had never experienced the joy of a seaside holiday. The fund, which was a significant part of Oldham's social fabric during the 1930s, aimed to bring happiness and create cherished memories for those less fortunate. In this image, the children, dressed in their best clothes, are seen beaming with excitement as they prepare for their day out. The Mayor and Mayoress, dressed in formal attire, look on with warmth and pride, their faces reflecting the sense of community spirit and generosity that defined Oldham during this era. The presence of the sheep, Michael, Mary, and Mona, adds an unexpected yet delightful touch to the scene, emphasizing the playful and joyful nature of the event. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when community came together to create moments of joy and happiness for those in need. It encapsulates the spirit of the 1930s, a decade marked by hardship and resilience, and serves as a testament to the power of charitable initiatives in bringing people together and creating lasting memories.
