Mosaic

The Robin Hood mosaic erected in Harlow College circa 1954
Robin Hood Mosaic 1954 (?)
 

This is a close-up of the Robin Hood mosaic that was placed above the front door of the school. You can see it, often, in house and school photos. (Keyes House 1957, for instance). In 1956/1957 Mrs Haig, the then art teacher, organised everybody to produce the individual tessarae that became the mosaic. The terrazzo marble/tiling was supplied by a company called Jaconello in Kingston upon Thames. Chris Dadson's father worked for a short time at Jaconello's and persuaded them to supply the terrazzo!

Quite why the subject of Robin Hood was chosen, when exactly it was put in place and what happened to it is not, as yet, known.
