Here are a collection of miscellaneous photographs related to the College and pupils.
The art room. All the following pictures are taken from an old prospectus. The actual photos are suspected to have been taken circa 1940, but this dating could be wrong. Suffice to say that this prospectus was still being handed out in 1962!
Dormitories
This lab photo is suspected to have been taken circa 1920, but this dating could be wrong. Gas lighting seems still to be in place. Suffice to say that this prospectus was still being handed out in 1962! And the lab didn't look like this, then! Even in 1940, we are told, the tiered seating was no more.

Current houses on HC site, photo taken in 2004. Robin Le-Male (55-61) provided this shot of the school site taken from atop the tower of St. John's. By some twist of fate, Robin actually lives here, occupying the property just about where the headmaster's office would have been. Not the first time, one suspects, that he had been hauled into the Headmaster's office! Chris McCready.
