Photolinks
We have recently discovered a collection of new archive material ....
Below are links to a range of new photos recently discovered - many of which have never before been published.
The numbered links will only show the photos but to see the descriptions (where we have them) click on the gallery link and then cycle through to the required image.
See if you are able to name any of the people in them and if you can, please let the IT Manager know.
More material will be added over the coming months so please use the ref number to identify the correct photo in any reply.
Many thanks

Amongst the items discovered recently was a wallet of photos sent to OSOBS in 1997 by Geoff Green taken when he made a visit to Ottershaw Park in 1982 whilst the conversion work was ongoing. He was accompanied by his cousin Alastair Johnston OT264 who appears in several of the photos. We did have copies of some of the photos already but they were of a poorer quality and small size so we have now included all of Geoff's photos in the a folder which can be accessed by clicking here.
The collection also contained two films about the school in 1965 and in the 1970s. These are now available from these links Video 1 & Video 2.
There are also a large number a negatives and slides in the collection discovered and as soon as we can get them processed copies will be posted in the appropriate galleries and links to them will appear here.
