Young people working in a lab. All are wearing brown coats whilst a man in a white coat at the front shows another man something on a board.
💽 Ferranti was a key UK electrical engineering firm, known for defence electronics, power grids, and the Ferranti Mark 1, the first commercial computer. It had training schools where apprentices wore brown dust-coats. Photo courtesy of Science Museum Group Collection Online. #EYAEducation
A scene from a school play on a stage. Everyone is in very detailed costumes. There is a king on a throne surrounded by courtiers, dignitaries and a bishop. A knight wearing chainmail kneels before the king. The set is dressed with banners with what look like gold coats of arms. Image courtesy of www.picturethepast.org.uk
Do you remember acting in a school play? We bet few had such grand costumes and scenery as this by pupils of Derby Grammar School in the #1930s. Can we even see real chainmail?

A turquoise-blue pennant with a gold braid border. The University of Surrey coat of arms is in the centre.
Close up of the embroidered University of Surrey coat of arms, featuring three swords denoting the three polytechnic institutes, originally planned in South London, below the Surrey County blue and gold chequers and two woolsacks, denoting the university's new location in Guildford.
We're showcasing some of the objects in our University Archives, dating back to 1891 when we started out as Battersea Polytechnic in south London.
This pennant dates from the 1960s, when the Polytechnic became a University at Guildford.
It may have been waved at sports events.

![Engraving with the caption 'The kindergarten and creche at the Familistère'. It shows a large room with curtained cribs containing babies in the back half. The front half of the room is divided into two. On the right, toddlers, accompanied by three adults, are sitting and playing. Four appear to be corralled in a circular pen, while nine are sitting on benches. One small child has a little cart on string. On the left, older children are playing, supervised by two adults. One group is dancing in a circle, another appear to be doing a 19th century version of the conga, one boy is playing a violin, and other children are skipping, playing with a hoop and holding a doll. What looks suspiciously like a demonic rabbit on wheels is at the front and centre of the image.

We love everything about this image but particularly what may or may not be a demonic skateboarding rabbit at the front
The creche was part of a utopian 'social palace' built for workers at the Godin factory in Guise, France
