EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we are transported back in time to the topmost storey of Bromsgrove School in Worcestershire, England, in the year 1953. The scene unfolds in the oldest dormitory of the esteemed public school, affectionately known as the "eighteen-bedder." The dormitory's name derives from the number of beds it can accommodate, each intended for a young scholar. The photograph captures the daily routine of the sixth form pupils, who are seen diligently making their beds. The room is filled with a sense of camaraderie and shared responsibility, as the boys work together to ensure their dormitory is tidy and ready for the next day. The worn wooden beds, each adorned with a thin mattress and a single blanket, speak to the simplicity and austerity of life in the dormitory. The boys in this photograph, led by Bryan De Grineau, are formers, meaning they have reached the final year of their schooling at Bromsgrove. Their focused expressions and determined postures reveal their dedication to their education and their commitment to the school's traditions. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the shared experiences and bonds forged in the crucible of boarding school life. The eighteen-bedder, with its creaky floors and narrow windows, may have been a far cry from the modern comforts of today's dormitories. Yet, the memories and lessons learned within its walls continue to resonate with generations of Bromsgrove alumni, making it an enduring symbol of the school's rich history and tradition.
