This photograph appeared in the Facebook Group Henry Mellish Memories recently. It was posted by Malcolm Lindley and he with other members of that group contributed to the identifications. Garry Humphreys has added another name. One remains unidentified.
It is likely ;to have been taken in the Summer Term 1965 since those present do not match the list of prefects for that year in The Centaur. Some in the list had left earlier in the year and several who were listed as prefects the next year must have been promoted.
