Canteen Education Late 20th Century School Lunch
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a slice of history from the late 20th century at Wallsend Deneside School in North Tyneside. The image showcases the canteen, a bustling hub of activity where students gathered for their daily lunchtime break. The focal point of the photo is the impressive pitched ceiling, which adds an air of grandeur to the space. It creates a sense of openness and height, making this canteen feel more like an elegant hall than just another school cafeteria. At the rear of this spacious hall, we see a double serving hatch that was used to efficiently distribute meals to hungry students. This feature highlights the thoughtful design elements incorporated into Deneside School by Architects Reavell and Cahill. Stepping back in time to 1967-1970, this photograph allows us to glimpse into the past and imagine what life was like for those who walked these halls decades ago. It serves as a reminder that education has always been at the heart of our communities, providing nourishment not only for young minds but also for growing bodies. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print offers us a window into an era when school lunches were shared amongst friends in a beautifully designed space. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane aspects such as school canteens hold significance within our collective memory and cultural heritage.
