Featherstone Old School Days - West Yorkshire "Bringing the past to life, one photograph at a time."

At Featherstone Old School Days (FOSD), we aim to share images that depict people in everyday life, with a particular focus on "School Days" as our name suggests. You'll find these images come from a variety of places, including submissions from our followers, the public domain, open-source platforms, publicly accessible records, and other social media sites. It's really important to us that we don't intentionally publish anything visual or written that could be considered obscene, inflammatory, or indecent according to the law. We also have a firm rule against content that might corrupt public morals, encourage violence, incite disorder, promote hate (including bullying), harass or distress anyone, or encourage self-harm, suicide, or unhealthy practices like eating disorders. Our commitment at Featherstone Old School Days is to keep all our users, both children and adults, safe from content that is obscene, offensive, harmful, or potentially harmful. This is something we take seriously and is guided by the Online Safety Act 2023, all other relevant laws, and the principles of data protection under the UK GDPR. We strive to ensure that everything we publish is suitable for a general audience and follows Meta's guidelines, including their minimum age of 13 and Community Standards. We don't believe our content is obscene or offensive as legally defined, nor do we think it's likely to cause distress to our viewers. However, if after reading this, you feel that accessing Featherstone Old School Days might cause you harassment, alarm, or distress (whether emotional or otherwise), or if you are under the age of thirteen (13), we strongly advise you not to visit our page or any other groups we manage. Ultimately, the content you see on FOSD is meant to reflect everyday life, especially those "School Days" we remember. We source these images from various channels, including our community, publicly available resources, and other social media platforms.

Did you know one of the men cutting coal beneath Wakefield spent every summer entertaining thousands as a seaside circus clown?

Ted Pickles worked as an underground coal miner at Denby Grange Colliery (situated near Overton and Midgley, south-west of Wakefield). He became the focus of national press attention on 15 December 1973 due to his extraordinary double life: spending his working weeks deep underground in the pit, and dedicating his annual fortnightly summer holiday to performing as a circus clown at the popular seaside resort of Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire.
