More of Rod Weir's photographs...

Here are all the remaining photos from Rod's remarkable collection. They have so many recognisable faces, and if there are any gaps, then by all means send a message via the comments, and I'll update them!

Rod Weir's newly discovered photos...

Rod Weir, who was at HHS from 1959 - 1962, has contacted me several times from Australia, and sent a marvellous set of photographs containing images which are so familiar, and also, there are lots of familiar faces as well!


He's given me the OK to publish these, and I'll start with a few here, and add to the collection soon!



Back, l - r, Wigram, Barton, Dunlop, Battersby, Kidd, Everton-Jones, Unsure.
Front, l - r, White (?), Boltjes, Bourne, Bower (?), Satchell, Unsure.

(If anyone has names to go with the 'Unsures', by all means post me a response!)


Davey and Kidd, in the old sports changing room - the cellar!


Dunlop front, and Drummond behind.


Faraday, the little dorm over the gym.


Front lawn view.


Mr Hilder with Mr Morrish's old car behind.

(Of course, if anyone is not that keen on seeing themselves in all their former glory, I'll respect their wishes, but this collection really is a great archive, and of course, totally original and as yet, unseen!)
