 Appeal for old photographs
The Association is appealing for missing House and sports team photographs to fill gaps in the archives. Please click here to see which House photographs are missing, and click here to see which sports team photographs are being sought. These lists are not exhaustive, and we will shortly be appealing for old CCF photographs. If you are having a clear-out and have come across any Edmundian memorabilia that you no longer want, please do let us know - it might just be something that we are missing! STOP PRESS: We have just received the missing 1955 Talbot House photograph from Stephen Butler (Talbot & Allen Hall 1954-63), and Jim Morris (St Hugh's & Douglass 1956-63) has just unearthed the missing Colts rugby team photograph from 1957-58.
