One of the more heartwarming stories of 2020 was footballer Marcus Rashford s campaign on free school meals which prompted a Government U-turn to provide them to disadvantaged children over the holidays.
Now, a fascinating series of photographs has revealed the fight for free school meals dates back more than a century to 1907 when Bradford Council became the first local authority to provide them to children.
The pictures were found by former headteacher Stephen Goodfellow in a box with glass photographic slides, a cotton glove and a business card, in a collection store at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford.
