in the gym
Filming in a gymnasium* in Batley
well Birstall actually, I think.
The wall-bars and benches were just the same when I was at school, the only thing missing were the thick cotton ropes and hard leather medicine balls. Oh, and the smell of floor polish mixed with the smell of unwashed boys, the squeak of plimsolls on parquet and the creak of wood as 2b flung themselves over the beam.
*from the Ancient Greek gumnazein to exercise naked
