In this photo print, we witness the remarkable initiative of a group of Thornaby school children that is now reaping sweet rewards.

Undeterred by their young age, these enterprising minds swiftly opened a delightful tuck shop that has surpassed all expectations. Transporting us back to the 14th of March in 1989, this image encapsulates the essence of the 1980s and showcases how education intertwines with practical experience.
