| Description | Two black and white photographs, originally in frames that have since been removed. Although unlabelled, it is possible that these images relate to the original opening of C.F. Mott College in 1946, when it was temporarily based on the Kirkby Trading Estate, and clearly include dignitaries. One of the women in the photographs is likely to be Miss Whiting, the College's first Principal, and the Right Honourable the 17th Earl of Derby, Edward Stanley, can also be seen standing holding his hat at the left of one of the images. It is possible that one of the two men in chains of office in the image is William Gainsborough Gregson, the Lord Mayor of Liverpool 1946-47, and the other may be Councillor H.T. Hulme, Chairman of Whiston Rural District Council, 1946-47. A stamp on the back of one of the photographs attributes copyright to J. E. Marsh & Sons, Photographers, Hoylake. |
