Three New Centaurs and More Photographs

February 15, 2021 ~ Malcolm Peaker ~ Leave a comment

David ‘Chas’ Chambers [1953-59] (brother of the late John ‘Chas’ Chambers [1949-54]) has provided three issues of The Centaur kept by his uncle, J.R. Chambers [1933-38]. They are from 1934, 1936 and 1940. Also two more photographs of the closing ceremony.

Andrew Robinson [1970-76] has provided the above and they have all been added today. Staff notes gleaned from the Centaur have been added.

Some members of staff are clearly absent from the April 1973 Panora photograph. I wonder why.
