Inventory of pupil's' clothes and effects, Lowther College, Bodelwyddan, 1962 [image 1 of 4]
Memorandum sent by Lowther College, Bodelwyddan, to parents regarding clothes of pupils, October 1942
  • A formal group photograph of the children and teachers at Llanwnog school in the 1890s. Although many Victorian photographs of this type exist, almost all provide us with fascinating glimpses of a lost age. Common to most such pictures are the unsmiling faces, the hats, and even for the tiniest child, stout boots, which were often used for walking miles to school.

  • One of a pair of formal group photographs of the children of Meifod school taken in the 1890s. Like many Victorian school pictures, the quality of the images and the detail captured by the large plate cameras of the time reveal much of interest today. This was the turn of the boys to be photographed, and some of the girls can be seen in the window behind them.

  • One of a pair of formal group photographs of the children and staff of Meifod school, taken in the 1890s. Their very best hats had been brought to school for the occasion, and as always in such photographs, there was at least one child who simply could not keep still for the long exposures required by the cameras of the time.
