| Multi-page documents have generally been scanned as ‘black and white’ bitmaps (at 400 pixels per inch) and stored as Adobe ‘portable document format’ (.pdf) files - which need 'Adobe Reader’ to open. Please note that Adobe Reader's ‘Find’ (binocular icon) facility is inoperative where textual information is stored as an image of text rather than character-strings. |

| Building Plans
"Several weeks after starting in September 1955, while spending some time in the school library, I noticed a copy of ‘The Architect and Building News’ on one of the shelves. When I glanced at it and saw that the school was included among the featured buildings, it became clear why it was there. I thought that the plans of the various blocks showing the interior in considerable detail, together with the photographs, were rather interesting and I was easily able to obtain a back copy. After several months it finished up in a cardboard carton with other school mementos where, until about 3 or 4 years ago, it remained. Fortunately, thanks to the internet, it is now available for anyone else to see." - P.K., Jan 2006 |
