              Westminster School Series AFB
              GB 2014 WS-02-POS-01 · File · c.1911
              Part of Westminster School's Archive and Collections

              This series of postcards depicts scenes from around Westminster School. They were numbered by R.S. Chalk (OW), who penned the following note regarding the series in 1976:

              "Westminster School Postcards c.1911
              (Purchased up Suts. c.1923)
              1,2 - Staff
              3-12 - School & Busby Library etc.
              13-19 - College
              20 - 25 Ashburnham & Library
              26-31 - Yard, Rigaud's, Grant's
              32-33 - Dean's Yard
              34-36 - College Hall
              37,38 - Science Labs
              39-44 - Fields and Gym
              45-47 - O.T.C.
              48 - Carpenter's Shop

              It would seem 9 of the original 57 p.c.s are missing. These included (i) Interior of Suts (alas!); (2) Art School (memories of incredible character W. Kneen); (3) Ashburnham Staircase (? two); (4) Fields); also perhaps a second view of College Garden
              R.S.C, 1976"

              Chalk annotated the back of the postcards he had in his possession. These annotations are included in each record for which they are present.
              Each postcard in this series is marked 'Westminster School Series AFB' on the reverse. While the meaning of 'AFB' is uncertain, it is possible it may refer to the initials of the photographer, who is potentially a College John named Arthur Brown. This speculation is drawn from information included in Chalk's captions.
