Cornell University Library, one of the leading academic research libraries in the United States, is part of the academic information infrastructure at Cornell University. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to supporting teaching, research, outreach, and learning. With that in mind, the Library is exploring Flickr as a way to make digital images from our collections available to the world at large. These images are already in the public domain and free from copyright restriction. Please feel free to leave comments and notes on individual pictures, or contact us via Flickr Mail. We'd love to hear from you!

    Thank you for contributing to the Creative Commons. I have used this picture in my collage, Snippy In Antiquity.

    Libraries don't usually have a sense of humour; perhaps the people behind the name do.

Leamington

from Cornell University Library

  • DON said:
    This is my old school!

    Built in 1847 as Leamington College, it then housed the Sacred Heart Catholic Convent from 1903-1916, and subsequently Dover College from 1916-1922, before once again becoming Leamington College for Boys. I was a pupil here from 1959 to 1966.

    In 1977 as part of secondary school reorganization, it became Binswood Hall sixth-form centre. It finally closed altogether in 2009, was sold for redevelopment, and is currently (July 2010) awaiting conversion into a retirement flats complex.

    Strange to tell, my current home is a flat in a retirement flats complex in Bristol.
