EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the carefree days of childhood in 1930s Gloucestershire. The image, captured by Marjory L Wight, beautifully encapsulates a moment of pure joy and innocence as children play freely on Stanway Road in Stanton, Tewkesbury. Looking northwards towards The Manor, the photograph showcases an idyllic scene with an old barn and dairy serving as a picturesque backdrop. The charm of rural life is palpable as we witness these youngsters running along the road without a worry in the world. The image not only captures a fleeting moment frozen in time but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when children found solace and amusement playing outside their homes. It serves as a reminder of the importance of unstructured play and exploration that was once commonplace before modern distractions took hold. Marjory L Wight's skillful composition allows us to feel like silent observers peering into this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this delightful scene, it is impossible not to be transported back to our own cherished memories of youthful adventures. This print from Historic England offers us more than just visual delight; it invites us to reflect on the universal experiences of childhood while appreciating the beauty found within everyday moments.
