EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1875, offers a glimpse into the past of St Olave's Grammar School in London. At the time this photograph was taken, the school was located in the historic Old Vestry Hall of St Olave's Church and its adjacent premises. The school was situated on the west side of Churchyard Alley, a narrow lane off the south side of Tooley Street, which runs parallel to Borough High Street. The year was 1810 when St Olave's Grammar School found its home in these ancient buildings. The Old Vestry Hall, with its distinctive bell tower, served as the primary structure for the school, while the adjoining premises provided additional space for educational pursuits. The churchyard alley, a quaint and secluded passage, added an air of tranquility and history to the school's surroundings. The image reveals a bustling scene of boys in formal attire, likely on their way to or from classes. The Old Vestry Hall, with its tall windows and intricate architectural details, stands proudly in the background. The boys' expressions range from focused determination to carefree laughter, reflecting the diverse range of emotions experienced during their time at school. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history of St Olave's Grammar School, which can be traced back to the early 16th century. The school's legacy continues to thrive, having moved to new premises in the late 19th century but retaining its strong connection to its historical roots.
