Names
in School Photos: Panoramas and Groups
On this
website we hold photos, mainly from Grammar School times, to which it would be
good to add names. This is the Panoramas entry page from which you may select
views taken in 1937, 1953 and 1964 (1947 remains unavailable and 1974 is on
another page):
Here
is the Panorama taken in 1953 and its Close Up on Mr Bradshaw:

)
Note the control boxes:
and how
one may use them to set the Close-Up rectangle on a person to be identified.
Using the mouse, click on the rectangle and move it around to centre on a
person of interest (ie Click and Drag); here Mr Bradshaw:
Select
‘Make Smaller’ which tightens the view box on to the person you want:
Using
this Zoom technique, one can magnify a section and home in on an individual, as
above for Mr. N W Bradshaw. This gives one a set of coordinates to which a name
can be added and passed back for inclusion in the file.
See below for this example with Miss Burton:
(this is for a person already identified)
Mostly
you will get this with a person so far unrecognised:
If
you identify a person on Photo X at position (x,y), do please let us know and
it will be added to the page.
Hopefully
you will look at all these photos and may be able to add names that are still
missing. We do not expect ever to get all or even most names, but a fair
fraction will be good.
We
believe the Panoramas were taken at roughly 5 years intervals, starting in 1932
but not during the Second World War. We have 1937, 1953, 1964 and 1974 on the
website. We still lack 1947 and those from more recent years.
These
photos are visible without a Website Login, though we hope most of you will in
fact register if you have not already. Details of how to do that can be found
at: http://www.ashcombedorkinian.com/help/HelpLogin1.htm#altern
There are other photos on the website
eg football teams, prefects over various years, some of which have had persons
named, others not. Any contributions of names would be most appreciated as
would letting us scan other photos not yet in our collection.
