Date 18??

  Two items have found their way to Saffron Walden. The gates are now between Leicester and Crosfield teaching blocks, and the clock faces south down our Avenue.

Thanks to Elwyn Goldsbury in New Zealand who sent these photos and letter from his great grandfather Alfred Goldsbury who was at Croydon in the early 1860s. Click on the images to enlarge.

Alfred Goldsbury is 4th from the left on the back row in this photo taken between 1861 and 1864.      

A letter written by Alfred Goldsbury to his parents when he was 14 years old.   It seems that pupils had to leave school when they were 15 years old!
