Map of the World, a Concrete Legacy at Audley Park School in 1939

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting grounds of Audley Park School in Torquay during the year 1939. A remarkable feat of artistry and education, this concrete map of the world stands as a testament to both creativity and knowledge. The intricate design showcases a figurative representation of our planet, with the Americas gracefully positioned on the right side. As schoolchildren gather around their teacher outdoors, it is evident that this map served as an invaluable tool for geography lessons. In an era where technology was not yet prevalent in classrooms, this concrete masterpiece provided tactile learning experiences for young minds eager to explore distant lands. It symbolizes an era when education was cherished and embraced by teachers who sought innovative ways to engage their students. Located amidst the picturesque surroundings of South West England's Devon region, Audley Park School became synonymous with quality education. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon an educational system that valued hands-on learning and fostered curiosity about our diverse world. Decades later, this image evokes nostalgia for those who experienced schooling during simpler times. It reminds us all that even through changing landscapes and advancing technologies, timeless methods like tangible maps can leave lasting impressions on generations to come.
