EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Freddie Reed, we are transported back to the 1970s in Kent, England. The image showcases a group of young schoolchildren eagerly making their way to Southlands Primary School on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Light Railway. It is September 7th, 1977 - a day etched in their memories forever. As the children embark on this unique journey to school, they are filled with excitement and wonderment. Clutching their backpacks tightly and donning their uniforms, they board the miniature steam train that will carry them through picturesque landscapes towards knowledge and growth. The railway itself becomes an integral part of their daily routine - a symbol of both adventure and education intertwined. With each passing day, these bright-eyed students experience not only the joy of learning but also the thrill of traveling through time as they traverse historic tracks laid down decades ago. This photograph serves as a testament to the importance placed on education during this era. It captures not just a moment frozen in time but also reflects how transport played an essential role in shaping young minds. Through steam-powered locomotion, these children learn valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and exploration. Freddie Reed's remarkable skill behind the lens allows us to relive this nostalgic scene from our past - reminding us that even mundane activities like commuting can hold immense significance when viewed through the lens of memory.
