Burnley children (1905)

[@mariejoyce5150]

This was one of the days out organised by charitable groups in Burnley. Workhouse and under privileged children were taken to the outskirts of town to play games and be entertained followed by a good packed lunch each

Probably a School, or Sunday School outing. Not many holidays for children back then, because many were working to help support their family.

Wonder if it was Empire Day? Many children wearing clogs and all wearing hats/caps. Some are carrying ‘snap tins’ so probably on their way to/from work.

Some of those young kid's probably fought and died in the trenches in WW1 Which would break out 9 years later. ☹️

At least the bairns seem adequately clothed, also seemed reasonably happy. I hope they were all well fed too.

The good thing is none have mobile phone.

[@Buildbeautiful]

Because they were not invented back then

[@davids8449]

The children would take one week to use mobile phone.........
