The photo was taken during Mr. Hamilton's last year as Headmaster. Does anyone know in which part of the school the photo was taken?

Hi Dave,
I think the photo was taken in the area where the buses came to turn round between the main school and the old West Riding classrooms. The building at the back is the "3 storey block" as it is called. Built roughly where the woodwork etc. was. The covered way behind RWH went into the main building where the boys entrance was. The space between the two was where pupils lined up for buses.
