EDITORS COMMENTS
Playing in the Street: A Glimpse into Childhood of 1930s Gloucestershire". This photo print, captured by Marjory L Wight, transports us back to a simpler time - the 1930s in Stanton, Tewkesbury. The image showcases a picturesque view of Stanway Road's northern end, where rows of charming houses stand as silent witnesses to countless childhood memories. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the heartwarming sight of children joyfully playing amidst the cobblestone street. Their carefree laughter and playful antics fill the air with an infectious energy that transcends generations. It is a nostalgic reminder of an era when streets were safe havens for youthful exploration and imagination. The scene exudes a sense of community spirit as neighbors peer out from their windows or gather on doorsteps to watch over these spirited youngsters. These houses bear witness to countless stories woven within their walls - tales of friendship forged through endless games and shared secrets whispered under moonlit skies. Marjory L Wight's lens captures not only the innocence and freedom of childhood but also serves as a poignant reminder that life was once lived at a slower pace. This photograph invites us to reflect upon our own experiences growing up while appreciating how times have changed. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Historic England's collection, let it serve as an enduring tribute to those cherished moments spent playing in streets like Stanway Road - forever etched in our collective memory.
