Panoramic School Photos

Click on Images to see Full Size Panoramas

O L Webmaster


THANKS to the generosity of several OLs you can examine 24 high quality panoramic photos of pupils and staff at the Lewes County Grammar Schools (Girls and Boys). The full size panoramas can be accessed by clicking the small images for each year shown below. Members of the Old Lewesians can (and should) use the "Name 4 Faces" facility (on the Members index) to attach "pop-up" names to faces for everyone to see.

The large photos are shown on screen at about the same scale as the original photo. Each photo downloads in a few seconds with broadband. If you are using Windows XP or Vista with Internet Explorer you can move your mouse cursor over faces on the large photo to reveal the "popup" names of pupils, where these are known.

To return from a large image to this page use the "Back" button in the top LEFT corner of the browser window.
