EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique sight in the heart of Brixton, London, back in 1936. The image showcases a playground on the roof of the School of Building, standing as a testament to innovative design and forward-thinking education practices. Located on Ferndale Road, this playground was an extraordinary addition to the bustling cityscape. It provided children with a safe space to play and explore amidst the urban landscape. The monochrome tones add depth and character to the scene, highlighting both the architectural beauty of the school building and its surrounding streets. The photo serves as a time capsule from an era when public education was at its forefront. Built under the supervision of London County Council, this progressive initiative aimed to provide students with not only academic knowledge but also physical development opportunities. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far educational practices have come since then. This image is part of Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection that preserves our rich history for future generations to appreciate.
