Several generations of memories will be evoked by this view of the Humphrey Head Camp, near Kents Bank on Morecambe Bay, opened by a Keighley Cinderella Club in 1909 and taken over by the Keighley Education Committee in 1922. This photograph illustrated a brochure produced after a reopening in 1956.

Despite its idyllic setting, the camp school had suffered £50-worth of bomb damage in 1941, and was then used for billeting Manchester schoolboys volunteering to help on the land during their wartime summer holidays.

By 1956 the Education Committee hoped "that every boy and girl will visit it at least once in their school life". Boys and girls attended separately on a weekly or fortnightly basis, and teaching was interspersed with camping and excursions.

Parents could visit on Sundays. Children with cameras and binoculars were advised to take them, "as they will add greatly to their interest".

A formidable list of recommended clothing included boots or shoes, plimsolls, Wellingtons and slippers, and a suit or blazer and two pairs of shorts -- "even people who wear longs", one boy scribbled on his brochure.
