EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Pope Pius X school, located in Wath-upon-Dearne, Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Taken in 1959 by artist Michael Walters, it showcases the newly opened school building and its interaction with the local community. In this snapshot from the past, we see a group of pupils engaged in conversation with their parish priest outside the school premises. The children are dressed in their traditional school uniforms while eagerly listening to what Father has to say. This image beautifully portrays the strong connection between education and religion during that era. Pope Pius X School holds great historical importance as it was awarded special status as a humanities college in 2007. This recognition speaks volumes about its commitment to providing well-rounded education encompassing various disciplines such as literature, history, philosophy, and more. The photograph's monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this scene from mid-20th century Britain. It not only highlights the architectural beauty of the building but also emphasizes how clothing choices reflected societal norms at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Michael Walters on behalf of Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , we are transported back to an era where faith played a central role in shaping educational institutions like Pope Pius X School.
