ONLINE MUSEUM: Harrisons House, mid 1950s
Harrisons', late '50s
This picture was kindly contributed by Nigel Palmer via James Cowen. Nigel is fairly sure that it is of Harrisons' House in its first year of existence 1954/55, with the front row of boys in their first year, aged 11/12, the middle and back rows consisting of older boys transferred from the other four Houses. Nigel, who is included in the picture (5th from left in the front row) has come up with a good deal of the names:

BACK: 1) Whiteley  2) Simpson  3) ??  4) ??  5) ??  6) Blindell  7) Vice?  8) Snazell  9) ??  10) Embleton  11) Blackmore  12) Logsdon   13) Moseley?  14) ??  15) Horner  16) Stern

MIDDLE: 1) Borrow  2) Hider  3) Powter*  4) Lambell  5) Housemaster Bernie Pinnock  6) Featherstone  7) Bellingham  8) Hartley  9) Henderson?  10) Harrison
*Powter later became Hamill. I remember his announcing to me, on the way to school, that his mother had just re-married

FRONT: 1) Daniels   2) Morris  3) Woodford  4) Biggs  5) Palmer  6) Gregory  7) Hill  8) Serlin  9) Little
The lack of an apostrophe is not a mistake - the house was named after TWO unrelated former masters called Harrison
