Having a mooch around my Guildford collection postcards.
This first picture is of St Catherine’s school in Bramley and taken around 1905.
This postcard is after the effects of the storm in August 1906
Now in my original notes I had a question mark around the location.
On reflection, I think this is showing the Rodborough Buildings in the background. This is dated around 1904.

Oh yes it does, I had not noticed that before. It was a dreadful storm. I do have a printed insert that I think came from the local paper at the time. I will try and load it sometime to the Guildford and District site. The damage was pretty bad.

Alan, I had not noticed that. I guess though that was the proper way to stand, a legacy from the Victorian era.

Looking quickly at the first and last card there is a striking similarity, the people almost standing to attention, the focus on the buildings and the equipment.

At first I thought those were cannons in the first photo until I read and figured out they were tree trunks! What a storm that must have been.

I have to ask: What uniformas are those, and what are they carrying in that cart?

The damage in 1906 looks very severe. Glad it was never like that when I went to Guildford.
