EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, a time between the wars when leisure activities were gaining popularity. The image showcases an interior view of the newly constructed swimming baths on Eltham Hill, a testament to architectural beauty and functionality. The Mayor of Woolwich, Count T Watt, graces this momentous occasion by officially opening the baths. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see him attentively observing Mr W Ogden as he enjoys a swim. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as people gather around to witness this grand event. The monochrome tones add a touch of nostalgia to the photograph, transporting us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. It captures not only the physical structure of the building but also hints at its purpose - providing a space for relaxation and recreation amidst bustling city life. John Topham's skillful composition highlights both architectural details and human interaction within this historic setting. As we gaze upon this image from Europeana Photography collection, we are reminded of how even mundane moments can hold great significance in our collective memory. This print serves as a visual reminder that throughout history, swimming pools have been more than just places for exercise; they have been spaces where communities come together to create lasting memories.
