Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
I have three photographs of a British boarding school, taken c1950s-60s, and am trying for find the name of it, if anybody knows ?

It might be Branksome Hilders School in Haslemere Surrey. The school closed in around 1965 and became an Olivetti conference centre.
No, it doesn't seem to be Branksome, judging by google photos. I thought it might be School House at the Dragon School Oxford, but it isn't that either.
Many thanks for your replies. I fear that you may both be correct, but close. Checking some old photos I see that none of the schools from the early 1900s match:

..and Dragon, Oxford is too high a building.
Any other guesses ?
