Foundation WCs - 1960s

From Richard Woodhead (FS 60-64)
The 'famous' outisde WCs in Foundation House. No doors on the loos!! It was taken in the winter of 62/63, the year of the 'Big Feeze'. Richard Woodhead in the centre, to his right is Jeremy Frith and to the very far right is Carter/Roger Croft. To Carter's right is John Goss. The picture records a memorable occasion when a coal brazier had been set up in between the two banks of loos to stop the pipes etc from freezing, but this made it a very convivial time and place for many of us to meet for a quiet fag knowing if anyone in authority came along the smell of the smokey fire would easily disguise the smell of tobacco. Happy days and memory. It was the same winter Richard recalls going ice skating and playing hockey on a large pond somewhere up on a headland near the school.
