Swanley College sports day. Apple bobbing. 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the vibrant and carefree atmosphere of Swanley College's sports day in 1935, captured beautifully in this print by John Topham. As you gaze upon the image, you are transported to a bygone era, between the wars, where young adults gather together for a day filled with laughter and excitement. In this delightful scene, boys and girls clad in their gymslips and plimsolls eagerly participate in an age-old tradition - apple bobbing. Their youthful enthusiasm is palpable as they lean over a large basin of water, determined to capture that elusive fruit using only their mouths. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the simplicity and innocence of these students' enjoyment. It serves as a reminder of how even during challenging times, people found solace in moments of pure fun. This snapshot from European history showcases not only the camaraderie among classmates but also highlights the importance placed on physical activity within educational institutions during that period. As we observe this piece from TopFoto's collection of Europeana photography, we can't help but be reminded of our own school days – those cherished memories etched forever within us. Let it serve as an invitation to reminisce about simpler times when joy was found through playful activities shared with friends who became lifelong companions.
