Scope and content
An address book entitled ‘Pupils Addresses in the Order of the Boards’. Pupils were recorded by their surnames followed by their initials and address. There appears to be no particular order in which the pupils are listed, as the address book is not arranged alphabetically of by location. Addresses have often been crossed out and replaced with a new address written close by if the pupil had moved. (1886-1889)
Also includes letter dated 1930 to Master of the the College asking the Master to include his address book with the rest of his papers.
