Girls playing netball on a roof playground, Barrett Street Trade School, London, 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a group of young girls engrossed in an energetic game of netball on the rooftop playground of Barrett Street Trade School. Taken in 1927, this image offers us a glimpse into the past and provides valuable insight into the lives of these spirited individuals. Located in the heart of London's Marylebone district, this unique setting showcases both the resourcefulness and creativity that characterized educational institutions during this era. The cityscape forms an impressive backdrop as these determined girls showcase their athletic prowess amidst towering buildings and bustling streets below. The significance of education for females is evident here; it symbolizes progressiveness at a time when gender equality was still being fought for. This snapshot also highlights the efforts made by organizations such as Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council to provide opportunities for young women to engage in sports activities. Preserved within the archives of Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome print serves as a testament to both historical preservation and cultural heritage. It reminds us that even amidst urban landscapes, spaces were created where dreams could be pursued and friendships forged through shared experiences. As we gaze upon these determined faces etched with determination, we are reminded not only of their individual stories but also how far society has come since then. Let us cherish this remarkable image as it encapsulates resilience, camaraderie
