Badminton Bizarre Bristol Comparing Comparison Difference Growing Growth Height Independent Johnson Private Pupil Pupils Shortest Tall Tallest Unusual Webb Weird 1929 Compares Short
EDITORS COMMENTS
An intriguing snapshot from the historic Badminton Girls School in Bristol, England, captures the striking contrast between its two most unusually sized pupils, Mertyl Webb-Johnson and Mary Feaver, in the late 1920s. The photograph, taken during an era when the school was renowned for its prestigious independent education, showcases the tallest and shortest pupils donning their distinctive school uniforms. Mertyl Webb-Johnson, the shorter of the two, stands at a petite height, her small frame dwarfed by the towering figure of Mary Feaver behind her. The discrepancy between their heights is quite bizarre and unusual, making for a striking comparison. Mary Feaver, the tallest pupil, looms over Mertyl, her large frame casting a long shadow. Despite their physical differences, both girls appear to be in good spirits, with bright expressions on their faces. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the school, highlighting the diversity and individuality of its pupils. The Badminton Girls School, founded in 1858, has a rich history of providing high-quality education to young girls. Its distinctive uniform, which includes a navy blue blazer, white blouse, and grey pleated skirt, has remained unchanged for decades. This photograph, taken in 1929, serves as a reminder of the school's unique history and the unusual yet endearing stories that unfolded within its walls.
