Part of a panoramic photograph of pupils at Cheney School in Headington in 1955
THESE were some of the pupils and staff at Cheney School at Headington, Oxford, in June, 1955.
It is taken from one of those panoramic photographs that were popular at schools in those days.
It would take ages to get everyone in the right place, and just a few minutes for the camera to whirr round and record the occasion for posterity.
The school had been open just a year, having replaced the old Secondary Technical School in St Ebbe’s.
The photograph comes from Phil Spurrett, of Brasenose Road, Didcot.
Look out for more sections of the picture soon.
