John Webster's Photos
 
 
Old Boys of Victoria School
     
1950 - 1953
     
     
 

These photos are in the possession of John Webster, who kindly lent them to me. I have scanned them in so as to be able to put them on this web site. They have been 'massaged' a little, to enable them to be seen a little bit more clearly.

They are produced, in the main, at their original size. If you clickon the Link, then you will see what is written on the reverse of the photo. If you do that, you will have to clickon "Back" on your browser, to get back to the position where you were.

If you have any photos that you would like to see on this web site, please send them to me. They will be treated carefully while in my possession, and will be returned safely to you.

In particular, if you have any school magazines, (except 1952), would you consider lending it to me, in order that it too, can be placed on the web for all to see.

Remember too, that these photos are nearly 50 years old and have were taken, I would imagine, on an "old Box Brownie camera" and processed in some local photographic shop.
