Return to old pastures, Chapter 1...

Having a spare hour a few years ago, I took a quick peek at the ‘Old Place’ and by coincidence, had the trusty Boer War Amateur Colonial Journalists’ Bellows See-All Camera (with brass-bound yew tripod, magnesium flash and developing tent with accessories), with me!

This was the gate at the western end of the school, opposite St Mary’s, and by Sylvester.



We would all troup through this gate on our way to the Tin Tabernacle for the Sunday service, and after an hour of listening to various Vicars, Canons etc, we'd troup back for letter writing.
