Sunday School Demonstration
circa 1901
A sea of hats and hopeful faces fills the streets of Chesterfield in this bustling photograph from around 1901. This is a Sunday School demonstration, a cherished annual tradition where children and their families paraded with pride and faith through town, celebrating community and Christian learning.
The scene brims with Edwardian charm: young girls in frilly dresses, boys in caps and waistcoats, and a tightly packed crowd gathered outside J. Sheppard’s store and other recognizable shops of the era. This was more than a religious event—it was a highlight of the social calendar, uniting generations in pageantry and joy.
📆 Over 120 years have passed since this moment was captured.
