The Lancashire Collection.

During their years at Southfield House, Mr & Mrs Lancashire collected many photographs. At the Southfield House Reunion (q.v.) held in July 2008, this collection was handed over by Godfrey Lancashire to The Thomas Hardye School Head Teacher, Dr Iain Melvin, for preservation in the school archives.

Before this handover, Godfrey kindly lent me this collection so that I could digitise them, and hence reproduce them on this website.

Most of the photos were dated on the back, but a few were undated. I have grouped them into the chronological subsections below, with the undated ones on their own.

Although mostly dated, there were virtually no records of the names of the individuals appearing in these photos. It has been a challenging project to ascertain as many of the names as possible, and this has been achieved thanks to the invaluable assistance of several Old Boys, particularly Ian Carr & Jammy Mathews. However, there are a still a few faces that are as yet unrecognised. If you should recognise any faces, please - e-mail me.

Some of these photos appear in other sections of this website; however, I have chosen to reproduce the collection here in its entirety.
