EDITORS COMMENTS
Open sided class sheds, Brent Knoll Open Air School, Forest Hill, London, 1928. Surrounded by wooden decking". This photograph takes us back to the early 20th century in Forest Hill, London. The image showcases the open-sided class sheds of Brent Knoll Open Air School in all their simplicity and charm. Nestled amidst a serene avenue lined with trees, these unique structures were designed to provide an innovative learning environment for students. The school's commitment to outdoor education is evident as we see children engrossed in their studies within the open-air classrooms. The surrounding wooden decking adds a touch of rustic beauty while also providing practical space for activities and playtime. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that education was highly valued during this era. The photo serves as a testament to the dedication of both educators and local authorities like the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC), who worked together to create such progressive educational facilities. Preserved by the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome image allows us to glimpse into a time when traditional classroom walls gave way to nature's embrace. It reminds us that even then, forward-thinking approaches towards education were being explored. Let this photograph transport you back in time as you imagine the laughter echoing through those open sides – a reminder of how our surroundings can shape our learning experiences.
