EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to Bembridge School, located on Hillway Road in the picturesque Isle of Wight. The image showcases a chemistry classroom bustling with young students diligently working at their desks. It is evident that this educational institution was dedicated to providing its boys with a comprehensive scientific education. The room exudes an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and discovery, as shelves adorned with an array of bottles line the walls. These bottles likely contained various chemicals and substances used for experiments and practical demonstrations. In one corner stands a fume cabinet, serving as a reminder of the importance placed on safety during these scientific endeavors. Photographed by Marshall Keene and Company between 1933 and 1939, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the past when traditional methods of teaching science were prevalent. It serves as a testament to the enduring value placed on laboratory-based learning within educational institutions. As we admire this photograph, we cannot help but reflect upon how far education has come since then. Yet, it also reminds us that some aspects remain timeless - such as fostering curiosity and critical thinking through hands-on experiences in subjects like chemistry. This image encapsulates both nostalgia for days gone by and appreciation for progress made in modern education systems worldwide.
