DO you recognise yourself in anyof these old school photos?

Back in 2015 staff at the Harwich and Dovercourt High School found dozens of old photographs while clearing out cabinets as they prepared to move the library from A Block to a revamped K Block, as part of a huge summer renovation.

The photographs range from when the school was named the Sir Anthony Deane School in the late 1950s through to when it became The Harwich School in 1974 and right up to the present day.

Documents that recorded the daily comings and goings of pupils in the library at the Hall Lane school were also discovered.

Speaking to the Standard back in 2015 school library manager Andrew Dace said: “I was just having a big sort out of one of the storage cupboards and came across the photographs.

“It looks like someone from decades ago had decided to store them there and probably forgot that they were there.

“Some of them go back a really long way and it was interesting to see what this library building was formerly used as.”
