EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "University College, London, stormed the Woolwich Polytechnic" we are transported back to a historic moment that unfolded on Wednesday 13th March 1946. The image captures the intensity of a student raid as University College students valiantly attempted to rescue their beloved mascot, Phineas. As chaos ensued, police reserves were swiftly called in to restore order. The aftermath is evident in the shattered panes of glass scattered across the ground. A massive crowd had gathered outside Woolwich Polytechnic, anxiously observing the unfolding events. Despite the initial turbulence, what makes this snapshot truly remarkable is how it ended peacefully. In this particular scene captured by General for TopFoto, we witness police diligently cleaning up and gently escorting students away from the precincts of the building. The photograph encapsulates both youthful rebellion and spirited determination displayed by these adolescents during an era marked by post-war restlessness. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even seemingly trivial matters like rescuing a cherished mascot can ignite passion within young hearts. This powerful image not only documents an extraordinary event but also offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in history when youth sought to make their voices heard amidst adversity and societal constraints.
