EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pure childhood joy. Taken in May 1956 at Lancastrian Infants School in Chichester, the image showcases a group of children hanging upside down on a climbing frame. Their infectious laughter and carefree spirits are evident as they playfully defy gravity. The composition is framed by a sturdy fence, reminding us of the safety and security provided by the school environment. The girls, with their neatly braided hair and innocent smiles, exude happiness while embracing this exhilarating adventure. This snapshot from the Chichester Photographic Collection held at West Sussex Record Office offers a glimpse into education during the 1950s. It reveals how outdoor play was an integral part of learning, fostering physical development, social interaction, and imagination. Set against the backdrop of Orchard Avenue's lush greenery, this image transports us back to simpler times when children found delight in simple pleasures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst academic pursuits, fun should always have its place within educational settings. As we admire this timeless photograph captured over six decades ago by an unknown photographer associated with West Sussex County Council (not affiliated with any company), let it serve as inspiration to cherish those moments of uninhibited joy that shape our fondest memories - both inside and outside the classroom.
