Grandparents were welcomed to the session to share their experiences of the era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe children gained so much from the day, truly learning about local history from those who experienced it first hand,\u201d said headteacher, Mrs Sharon Bowker whose own parents attended the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was so interesting to talk to people who lived in the Fifties or Sixties about how they listened to music and how things have changed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run by Lancashire-based arts and heritage charity, Mirador, and Lancaster University Library, Jukebox: The Teenage Revolution is a series of exciting events taking place on Lancashire\u2019s seaside coast, supported with a \u00a350,904 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lytham St Annes and Blackpool were the birthplace of the distinctive British jukebox produced by the Ditchburn Equipment company. St Annes is also home to the Ditchburn Jukebox Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mirador\u2019s engagement officer, Steve Fairclough said: \u201cThis intergenerational collaboration was wonderful to be part of. The highlight of the day for me was seeing how interested the children were about history, and, of course, everyone dancing together at the end to Rock Around The Clock! \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone with memories of being a teenager in the Fifties and Sixties or photographs from that era, please&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/miradorarts.co.uk\/get-in-touch\/\">contact us<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louise BryningMirador Arts 30th June 2024 Children at a Lytham school and their grandparents turned back time by Rocking Around The Clock during a history lesson with a difference.
