EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as children make their way to Village Schools on Church Drive in Port Sunlight, Birkenhead, near Bebington, Lancashire, England during the 1900s. The image transports us back in time, with the children dressed in their best clothes, clutching their satchels, and walking along the tree-lined driveway leading to the church. Port Sunlight was a model village built by William Hesketh Lever, the founder of Lever Brothers soap and Sunlight soap, in the late 19th century. The village was designed to provide decent housing for his workers and was renowned for its beautiful architecture, gardens, and community facilities. The village schools were an integral part of this vision, providing education for the children of the community. The photograph shows the children walking along the driveway, which was lined with trees and flowers, creating a picturesque scene. The school building can be seen in the background, with its red brick walls and tall chimney. The children's expressions are a mix of excitement and concentration, as they make their way to their classes. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of education and the role it plays in shaping the lives of young people. It also highlights the social and community spirit that was fostered in Port Sunlight, where the children could walk to school in a safe and beautiful environment. The photograph is a precious piece of history, capturing a moment in time that has long since passed, but continues to inspire and intrigue us.
