Title: Bournemouth High School 1920s
Post by: seemex on Tuesday 25 October 16 02:11 BST (UK)

I'm looking for information on Bournemouth High School and anyone who may have photos of the school from 1924-1928. My mother and her sister boarded there. I think it might have been a girls school but not sure. I have a male cousin who went to boarding school around there too so any school info from that period would be useful. I know they used to go to Boscombe on outings.  I also have a couple of school class photos if anyone else is looking for a family member, I'd be happy to send them a copy.
Thanks
Brian

In 1920s Bournemouth was in Hampshire so archives could be held in Hampshire or Dorset; the county boundary changed in 1970s.

 :) That was my own photo that I posted there. It's from sometime between 1924 and 1928
