We always welcome receiving photos of times gone by or more recent reunions. If you have any, please do send them to Paddy Godwin at patrick.godwin@btinternet.com for inclusion on the website.

NEW: Year Group Photos

We now have digital versions of numerous year group photos. These are split into two galleries below, one for the time period 1955-1976 and one for 1977-1989.

You can use the arrows or click on the thumbnail images to navigate the galleries. If you click on the large image, this will then open up the full-width version of the image and a toolbar. The toolbar (with its icons in the top-right of the screen), will allow you to zoom in/zoom out and also drag around the image to view certain sections.

View of big house from the Old Warden entrance. If you know anything about the wall of death, this view leads to the 90 degree right and left into the sunken bit of drive in front of the house. Of course many a budding rally driver or drunk used to drive up the banking (hence the wall of death) before the left and right out the other end. Some more successful than others. Hanging offence by Scotty if caught or didn't make it!
