EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the year 1946 in London. It portrays a group of schoolchildren, whose lives had been deeply affected by the war. Deprived of holidays and never having witnessed the vastness of the sea, these young souls were about to embark on an unforgettable adventure. Thanks to a remarkable initiative, these London schoolchildren were given an opportunity to spend two weeks at a holiday camp located in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. For most of them, this would be their first-ever vacation experience. The excitement radiates from their faces as they eagerly explore the new surroundings. However, what makes this camp truly unique is its provision for diabetic children. Underneath canvas tents lies a treatment center specifically designed for those battling with diabetes. This installation demonstrates not only compassion but also innovation in providing medical care even amidst such challenging circumstances. The photograph encapsulates both innocence and resilience within its frame - childhood interrupted by war yet still finding joy in newfound freedom. It serves as a poignant reminder that despite adversity, moments of happiness can be found when communities come together to support one another. Circa 1946 was undoubtedly an era marked by hardship and uncertainty; however, this snapshot captures a glimmer of hope and optimism for better days ahead – days filled with laughter, exploration, and cherished memories created during that wonderful fortnight at Walton-on-the-Naze holiday camp.
