EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the spirit and camaraderie of the 19th Sheffield Company of the Boys Brigade during their memorable camping trip in Skegness, Lincolnshire in 1906. The image showcases a vibrant group of young boys, brimming with youthful energy and enthusiasm. Dressed smartly in their brigade uniforms, these children radiate a sense of pride as they pose together for this timeless snapshot. Each face tells its own story – some beaming with excitement, others displaying mischievous grins that hint at the adventures awaiting them on this camp. Instruments held high and drums poised for action, it is evident that music played an integral role within this tight-knit community. These budding musicians are ready to entertain not only themselves but also those lucky enough to witness their performances. The picturesque backdrop of Skegness adds an extra layer of charm to this photograph. Nestled along the coast of Lincolnshire, it provided an idyllic setting for these youngsters to escape from city life and immerse themselves in nature's wonders. Preserved meticulously by Sheffield City Archives (Original: SY635/2), this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into a time when youth groups like the Boys Brigade fostered discipline, friendship, and personal growth among young boys. It serves as a poignant reminder that even over a century later, memories captured through photographs can still evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth within our hearts.
