What I like best about the photo is the gloves - I had never realised drummers would wear them!

a) boys at Hertford as late as about 1920?
b) they seem to be wearing boots: in a print of 1816 it is clear that the boy is wearing ballet type shoes with which Gemma would be happy! These are more like miner's boots.
Does any old Hertford girl recognise the location?

I'm having trouble seeing it, it keeps disappearing from view!
We would be unlikely to recognise the location, David, there was very little of the boys' school left. The site was fairly well gutted and new buildings in 1902. From what I could see, it would appear to be in front of our school hall.

OF COURSE we recognise the location! The picture was taken in front of the building at the end of the Square (our foreshortened equivalent of the Avenue) - a building which we subsequently knew as the School Hall (the Horsham equivalent of Big School).

Thanks Mary. I hadn't realised the School Hall was earlier than the rest of the buildings, but it is the School Hall. I think that I did use that door when going to ring the bell as a Prefect.englishangel wrote:Katharine, if you scroll down it will re-appear, and you can enlarge it.

FRom the cloisters you went into the Music Room (where the fiction library was, I think) and from there into the hall,with steps up to the stage. Was your Crush Hall our Music Room?kerrensimmonds wrote:Well, probably yes. But in my time we only ever entered the School Hall via the side door, through the Cloisters and (if you were aiming for the stage) the Crush Hall:
