EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at Birley House Open Air School in Forest Hill, London, back in 1908. In this image, both boys and girls dressed in their uniforms are seen diligently preparing food outdoors under the guidance of their instructors. The children can be seen surrounded by lush gardens as they engage in the art of cookery. The scene is filled with bustling activity as young hands roll out pastry dough with rolling pins while others chop vegetables on a wooden table. Flour dusts the air as these eager pupils immerse themselves in the culinary process. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when practical skills were valued just as much as academic knowledge. Located on London Road, this open-air school was established by the Greater London Council (GLC) and operated under the jurisdiction of Lewisham's London County Council. The photograph itself is part of the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery collection. As we admire this historical gem, it serves as a reminder of how education has evolved over time. It showcases not only gender equality but also emphasizes hands-on learning experiences that were provided to students during that period. This remarkable image transports us back to a simpler time when outdoor classrooms offered unique opportunities for growth and development among young minds.
