The Mitre, Repton 1960 & 1964

Old Reptonians  Geoffrey Morris (M'55) and Richard Hodgkinson (M'59) have  kindly sent in the following photographs from their  time at the school.  Geoffrey has also been writing down his memories of Repton, illustrated with photographs.  He has very few of inside Mitre House in the late fifties and sixties and would enjoy hearing from anyone who has any.  Please contact the OR office.

The names on the photographs may not be all correct.  Please feel free to contact the OR office if you recognise anyone.
