As we delve into this historical image, we are transported to a time when physical exercise and intellectual pursuits were highly valued.

Founded by Mr. Quintin Hogg, this institution aimed to create a space where young men could engage in various activities for personal growth and social interaction. Within its walls, one can imagine lively conversations taking place in the social room while others partake in invigorating exercises at the gymnasiums. This establishment not only offered opportunities for physical fitness but also fostered intellectual curiosity with its library and lecture halls.
