EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to the 1950s, showcasing the interior of a science laboratory at Arnold County High School in Nottinghamshire. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing island benches equipped with sinks and gas taps adorned with Bunsen burners. Racks of test tubes stand ready for experimentation, hinting at the scientific discoveries that unfolded within these walls. The science block at Arnold County High School was a hub of knowledge and exploration. It housed not only chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics laboratories on the ground and first floor but also boasted additional facilities on the second floor. Here, students could attend lectures in a well-appointed theatre with raised seating or engage in hands-on experiments in an optical laboratory. Geography and technical drawing rooms completed this comprehensive educational environment. Featured prominently in Team Spirit - Laing company's newsletter from October 1959 - this photograph beautifully documents the completion of an ambitious project undertaken by Arnold County High School. It stands as a testament to their commitment to providing quality education through state-of-the-art facilities. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the importance of nurturing young minds through dedicated spaces like these science laboratories. This image encapsulates both nostalgia for days gone by and appreciation for advancements made since then – all while celebrating education's timeless pursuit of knowledge.
