Sunday School Treats |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Although there were Sunday School Treats as early as the mid-nineteenth century, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the United Treats were held annually on a Thursday in July. It was a local red-letter day with schools closing and factories allowing time off, but by the early thirties, "Children's Day" was going out of favour, and World War II brought it to an end. In 1910 it was estimated that 3,000 took part in the parade, headed by a 500-strong contingent of Park Road Baptist scholars, celebrating the centenary of their foundation.
