The school on the picture is called Nairobi School. It is one of the National secondary schools in Kenya and it's now located in Nairobi.

It is true that the school today is known as Nairobi School but at the time the photo was taken it was known as the Prince of Wales School. So the caption should remain. Please refer to the following which appears at the start of the collection. "Please note the pictures and the captions attached to them are representative of the time they were taken. They are frequently terms that would not be used today. However, our role is to preserve the integrity of the historic public record which is why they have been preserved and presented as originally captured."

Its good that the school is still going, as is the Kenya High school for girls.

This is Railway Training School located in Nairobi South "B".

Now, Railway Training Institute is one of the oldest training institution in the east African Region. The plaque to inaugurate the Institute was unveiled by His Honor, Sir, Fredrick Crawford, Deputy Governor of Kenya, on the 29th June 1956 ,as a skill development centre for developing Human resources for the then East African Railways and Harbours.

Title should read Railhead, not Rarehead. The photographer was H. K. Binks
