EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph graced the cover of Tatler magazine in 1964, showcasing Helen and Catherine Jay, the striking twin daughters of Labour MP Douglas Jay. The sisters were studying at the University of Sussex, one of several new campus universities that emerged in the 1960s, revolutionizing the higher education landscape. The University of Sussex, located in the picturesque grounds of Falmer, Sussex, was a pioneering institution designed to provide a modern and progressive education. In the photograph, the twins, dressed somewhat incongruously in headscarves, pose in front of one of the university's iconic buildings, designed by renowned architect Sir Basil Spence. Sir Basil Spence was also the architect of Coventry Cathedral, showcasing his unique blend of modern and traditional architectural styles. The building's sleek, contemporary design stands in stark contrast to the pastoral setting, reflecting the forward-thinking ethos of the new universities. The sisters' choice of headscarves adds an intriguing layer to the image, hinting at their personal style and cultural influences. The photograph not only captures the essence of the 1960s but also encapsulates the spirit of innovation and change that characterized the era. This image, with its historical significance and timeless appeal, remains a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal moment in British educational history.
