Children playing in the alley ways of the Tenement blocks in Govan, Glasgow. September 1956

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a bygone era, capturing a poignant moment in time. In the heart of Govan, Glasgow during September 1956, we witness the resilience and innocence of childhood amidst challenging circumstances. The image depicts a group of children immersed in their own world within the narrow alleyways between towering tenement blocks. Their laughter echoes through these humble surroundings as they find joy in simple games and companionship. The architecture surrounding them tells a story of an era marked by poverty and squalor, where families struggled to make ends meet. Yet despite their modest surroundings, these children radiate an undeniable spirit that transcends their circumstances. A pram stands nearby, symbolizing both motherhood and hope for better days ahead. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Scotland's history - one that encompasses not only its grand castles or breathtaking landscapes but also its struggles with social inequality. It sheds light on the harsh realities faced by those living in slums during this period. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done to ensure every child has access to safe housing and opportunities for growth.
