This print captures a momentous sports day at Pennthorpe School in Chislehurst, Kent, back in 1937. The image showcases the determination and athleticism of the students as they compete fiercely in the high jump event. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque running track, young boys can be seen leaping gracefully over the bar with utmost concentration and skill. Their commitment to excellence is evident through their poised expressions and perfectly timed movements. The spectators seated on deck chairs alongside the field add an air of excitement to this nostalgic scene from between the wars. Their anticipation is palpable as they cheer on these budding athletes, creating an electric atmosphere that permeates every corner of this snapshot from history. Photographer John Topham expertly captures this significant moment in time, freezing it forever within this monochrome masterpiece.
