1942 Archive Bathing Bedford Bpeosa College Physical Pupil Pupils Student Students Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of post-game relaxation and camaraderie among students at a college in the midst of wartime Britain. Dated 1942, the image shows a group of young men and women gathered around a large stone basin, located outdoors, as they bathe and chat after their Physical Education (PE) classes. The students, dressed in simple white bathing suits and towels, seem to be fully immersed in the moment, their laughter and conversation creating a sense of joy and relief from the daily rigors of college life and the broader challenges of the war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of physical activity and community during times of adversity. The setting, with its lush greenery and sunny skies, contrasts sharply with the harsh realities of the war, offering a brief respite from the stresses and anxieties of the time. The image also speaks to the enduring nature of student life and the traditions that bind students together, even in the most challenging of circumstances. This photograph is part of the BPEOSA (Bedfordshire and Luton Educational Establishments) archive, which documents the history of education in the region from the late 19th century to the present day. The archive, held at the Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Records Service, is an invaluable resource for researchers and historians studying the history of education and student life in the area.
