Some of our panoramic photographs are the rough proof copies sent to the school before the final photographs were ordered. They were commissioned from Panora of London, and in 1956 each copy cost four shillings and sixpence. The price had not gone up since the 1940s.

Z4, 1964 school photograph
This is the final panoramic photograph in our collection. It was taken only seven years before Guisborough Grammar School became Prior Pursglove College, and a decade before the final fifth form graduated.
Unlike in our earlier photographs, in this shot the boys all wear uniforms. A set school uniform wasn’t introduced until quite late in the school’s history. Until then, the boys were required only to look smart and wear the school’s badge on their cap or blazer.
This photograph is a proof copy.
