EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and joy for the boys at Prior Park Industrial School in Bath during the 1920s. Located in the picturesque English city of Bath, Prior Park Industrial School was an institution that provided care and education for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. In this image, we see a group of boys of various ages enjoying a swim in the school's swimming bath. Their laughter and playful banter fill the air as they take a break from their daily routines. The boys are dressed in simple, practical swimsuits, and their faces are filled with excitement and delight as they splash and frolic in the water. The swimming bath, with its high ceilings and large windows, allows natural light to filter in, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The boys' sense of freedom and happiness is palpable, a testament to the importance of play and recreation in the lives of children, even in the context of an institution. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the lives of these boys and the care they received at Prior Park Industrial School. It also serves as a reminder of the essential role that welfare organizations and orphanages played in providing care and support to children in need during the 1920s and beyond. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of community, care, and the simple pleasures of childhood.
