Description: | 18th May 1950.
Image shows a group of nine young children dressed for what is thought to be their First Communion at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Burley Road. It is taking place on Ascension Day, the 18th May, 1950. The six boys are dressed in white short trousers and white shirts. One boy is wearing a short white cape and gloves. The three girls are dressed in full-length white dresses and their hair is decorated with flower garlands. One of them carries a pole topped with an ornate arrangement of flowers. The children are pupils of Sacred Heart Infants School, seen in the background, right, to the ground floor. The church was situated on the level above. The doorway seen accessed the kitchens where school dinners were made and also sent out to other schools. A doorway on the extreme right led to the office of the Headmistress, who at the time was Sister Dorotheas. In the centre a passageway is visible accessing Burley Road. To the left of it is the Catholic Mens' Club. In the background, left is Burley Lawn Council School on the north-east side of Burley Road. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Burley Lawn Council School Sacred Heart Infants School Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church Burley Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
