This photograph, titled "St Thomas Hospital - Lee, Griffin, Burtie, Mac and Billie on the Roof" dates back to 1921 and is an intriguing glimpse into the past of physical education at St. Thomas Hospital in Bedford, England. The image features five students, identified as Lee, Griffin, Burtie, Mac, and Billie, who are seen enjoying a moment of leisure on the hospital's rooftop. The students appear to be engaged in a playful interaction, with Lee and Griffin holding onto each other's shoulders as they look out at the expansive view of the hospital grounds. Burtie, Mac, and Billie are positioned behind them, seemingly in a state of amusement at their friends' antics. The students' casual attire and relaxed demeanor suggest a sense of camaraderie and carefree spirit. At the time, St. Thomas Hospital was renowned for its progressive approach to physical education, with a focus on providing opportunities for students to engage in a variety of activities both indoors and outdoors.
