1950s Childhood Children Food Laing Spirit Christmas Decorations Party Hats
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "Sitting down for tea" we are transported back to a heartwarming Christmas party in the 1950s. The image captures the pure joy and innocence of childhood, as boys and girls adorned with festive party hats gather around a table set for tea. The children, who belong to the dedicated staff of John Laing and Son Limited's Mill Hill office in Barnet, Greater London, are clearly enjoying themselves as they eagerly await their treats. The room is beautifully decorated with traditional Christmas ornaments that add an extra touch of magic to the scene. This snapshot not only showcases the delightful spirit of Laing employees but also highlights the importance placed on family within this tight-knit community. It serves as a reminder that even during busy work schedules, moments like these were cherished by both parents and children alike. As we gaze at this nostalgic photograph captured by A© Historic England Archive, we can't help but feel a sense of warmth and nostalgia wash over us. It transports us back to simpler times when simple pleasures like sharing tea with friends brought immense happiness.
