This photograph, dating back to 1899, captures Miss Stansfeld and her dedicated colleagues engaged in a passionate discussion during a Physical Education class at Bedford College. The college, which was founded in 1849, was a pioneer in providing higher education for women in the UK, with a particular focus on physical education and training for future teachers. Miss Stansfeld, the esteemed educator in the center, is surrounded by her students and colleagues, all intently listening to her every word. The women are dressed in their PE uniforms, which include blouses, skirts, and gym shoes, reflecting the progressive nature of the institution. The setting is the college's well-equipped gymnasium, filled with various apparatus and equipment. The atmosphere in the room is one of focus, determination, and camaraderie. Miss Stansfeld's colleagues, who are also experienced educators, contribute to the lively discussion, adding their insights and experiences to the conversation. The students, eager to learn, absorb every detail, ready to apply their newfound knowledge in their own classrooms. This photograph is a testament to the groundbreaking work being done at Bedford College during this era. The dedication and passion of Miss Stansfeld and her colleagues in promoting physical education for women, and the eagerness of their students to learn, make this an inspiring image from the past. The rich history of this institution continues to influence the world of education and physical health to this day.
