A publicity shot from January 2000 showing the 1st XV scrum half, 16-year-old Andrew Houston, in the new team kit

Chemistry in 1931 with boys smoking pipes. They received the Headmaster's permission after he was convinced pipes were needed in dissection classes to mask the vile smells

The Quad before the building of new offices/studies on the north side in 1966

1980 ... the view towards the School from beyond Pickup. That pitch and Marcon were still redgras while Lintotts was a sloping grass rugby pitch which had only been opened a few years earlier

Current parents looks away ... a receipt for payment of the fees for the Michaelmas term of 1923 ... £44 17s 3d, including extras!

An aerial picture of the 1965 Centenary Fete with captions as to what the buildings were and what changes there have been

The Rhodes Block (now Woodyer Art Studios) in 1979. The white car belonged to part-time fireman John Lowry who left it there so if he got an emergency call he could jump out of his bottom-floor window and get a flying start to the fire station

The early stages of the building of the Connaught Block and Speech Hall with the half-finished Head's house to the rear - 1927. The buildings were finished in 1929

Almost 65 years ago but unchanged other than some more trees and a complete absence of parked cars ... the road past the front of the school in the summer of 1959

Chapel 1980 - Charles Macdonald teaching the organ to Mark Shepherd on the 1977 organ which preceded - and was completely dwarfed - by the 2010 Mander organ

The Common Room in 1980. Erected as a "temporary" solution to the school's need for more space in 1919, it was the Common Room until 1985 when it became the buttery and finally Gatley's tuck shop. It was demolished one year shy of its centenary

An advertising booklet for Cranleigh from the turn of the century which labels it, somewhat adventurously, as "Switzerland in Surrey"

Loveday being built during the winter of 1979-80. It opened at the start of the Michaelmas Term 1980

Gatley's Farm in 1947, the year it was bought by the School. It remained a farm until 1971 and from 1972 was the Sixth Form Centre until it became part of Loveday House in 1999

The Headmaster's House as it was in about 1914. This is now the East housemaster's residence. The buildings to the left of the picture were demolished in 1926-27 to make way for the Connaught Block

The School from Horseshoe Lane around 1875. The original Fives courts are at the end of the Chapel. These were moved when the Merriman Block was built in 1906

The School around 1910 with the newly built Merriman Block on the right. The large path led to House, the forerunner of Cranleigh Prep, and the sloping South Field was still used for football

We are sorry to report that former Director of Music Jared Armstrong (MCR 1954-1967) died earlier this month at the age of 98. He was the last master to be appointed by David Loveday (HM 1931-1954)

Aerial picture of the School from 2003 showing the much-missed outdoor pool. West (now Rhodes) was a new build with the old works storage opposite and the very left the old squash courts, now part of the VHC

The 1995 renovation of the East dormitories in the oldest part of the School won several architectural awards
