Evesham Again - Same Old Lorry
EDITORS COMMENTS
(1940) is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past, specifically the physical education scene at a college in Evesham during the 1940s. The image, preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, portrays a Bedford lorry, an iconic vehicle of the era, parked in front of a group of students. The Bedford lorry, with its sturdy frame and robust design, served as a mobile classroom and transportation for the students during those days. The students, both boys and girls, are seen in their PE uniforms, engaged in an activity that appears to be a drill or a game. Their focused expressions and determined postures reflect their dedication to their education, despite the challenges of the time. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it provides a window into the physical education practices during the 1940s. The use of a lorry as a makeshift classroom was a common practice during this period, particularly during wartime when resources were limited. The students' attire and equipment also offer insights into the fashion and trends of the time. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of educators and students during challenging times. It serves as a reminder of the importance of physical education in shaping the minds and bodies of the future generations, even in the face of adversity. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, particularly those related to education and physical education in the UK during the 1940s. In conclusion, "Evesham Again - Same Old Lorry" (1940) is a poignant and evocative photograph that captures a moment in time and offers a unique perspective into the past. The image is a reminder of the importance of education, physical activity, and adaptability, even during the most challenging of times.
