A Pick of the Archives

Joining in with  “Explore your Archives” week, a national spotlight on historical treasures, Leighton Park’s Archives team presented “A Pick of the Archives”.

The audience of parents, former parents and Old Leightonians (and maybe next generation Leightonian 7 week old Nathaniel) were fascinated and also amused by the range of documents and photos shared.  From the tear-jerking letter written to the school by the Head Benjamin Townson on the death of his son, to the brutally honest school reports, John entertained with his extensive knowledge and passion for Leighton Park.

The audience also enjoyed a sneak peak at the new Archives website where members of the community will be able to view the entire collection of “The Leightonian” magazine, House, Sport, School photos and much more.
