EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the nostalgic era of May 1956, capturing a delightful moment at Lancastrian Infants School in Chichester. The image showcases a group of children joyfully playing on a climbing frame, their youthful energy radiating through the lens. The setting is framed by a sturdy brick wall and an old-fashioned wooden fence, which provide a sense of security and familiarity. A plank lies nearby, perhaps serving as an improvised balance beam for these adventurous little souls. Their PE session seems to be filled with laughter and excitement as they challenge gravity while hanging upside down from the bars. These children are not just having fun; they are also embracing education in its most playful form. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the essence of childhood innocence blended with learning experiences that go beyond textbooks. Amongst this lively bunch, we can spot some girls showcasing their bravery alongside their male counterparts. It's heartwarming to witness gender equality even during those times when societal norms were still evolving. Located on Orchard Avenue, Lancastrian Infants School has undoubtedly witnessed countless memories like this one throughout its history. Thanks to the Chichester Photographic Collection preserved by West Sussex Record Office, we have been granted access to this precious glimpse into our past. As we admire this remarkable photograph print today, it serves as a reminder that education is not confined within classroom walls but extends far beyond them – into moments of pure joy and camaraderie shared between friends on sunny afternoons
