EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment of excitement and anticipation as three young women prepare to go ice skating at Wimbledon Common in London during the 1930s. Dressed in their woolen coats, hats, and scarves, they sit on the frozen ground, carefully putting on their ice skates. The girls, with their plaited hair and rosy cheeks, exude a sense of youthful energy and joy. The image offers a glimpse into the history of ice skating as a popular winter pastime in the UK. Ice skating at Wimbledon Common was a beloved tradition that drew large crowds, especially during the colder months. The common, located in southwest London, was known for its natural ice rink, which formed when the temperature dropped below freezing. As the women focus on their task at hand, one of them playfully reveals a flash of her bloomers, adding a touch of humor to the scene. The accidental exposure of her undergarment is a reminder of the more casual and carefree fashion of the era. The photograph also highlights the importance of community and friendship, as the women help each other put on their skates and prepare for a day of fun on the ice. This photograph is a beautiful representation of a simpler time, when the simple pleasures of ice skating and spending time with friends could bring joy and laughter to people's lives. It is a timeless image that continues to capture the imagination and evoke feelings of nostalgia and wonder.
