EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from 1908, we witness a spirited game of netball taking place in the playground of William Street Girls School, located in the heart of London. The girls are seen enthusiastically engaged in this popular ball game, which was known as basketball during that era. Amongst them stands a determined young girl with the ball firmly held, poised and ready to take aim at the goal. This image offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century education and leisure activities for females. It reflects an era when physical exercise and sports were encouraged as part of school curriculum, promoting overall health and wellbeing. The black and white composition adds a timeless charm to the scene while highlighting the energy and camaraderie shared by these young athletes. Situated within Hammersmith and Fulham borough under Greater London Council's jurisdiction, William Street Girls School played an important role in shaping countless lives during its existence. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's London County Council Photograph Library collection, this photograph serves as a valuable testament to both local history and women's participation in sports. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us celebrate these pioneering girls who fearlessly embraced physical activity amidst societal expectations.
