Hello. I have found an old photograph of my grandfather aged about 14. He is wearing a school blazer and I can just about see the emblem on the pocket. Does anyone know where I can look to find which school he attended. Would have been about 1910. Thanks. Pam.

do you know what area he was likely to have gone to school in?

I would imagine that there weren't that many schools in his home area that required a blazer with badge to be worn..... It sounds a little 'up-market' so you may find something on Google images if you put in , ....school and the town name. Gwyn

Thanks. He would have gone to school in East London. Was hoping that if I could find site with emblems on it, could match with one on his blazer. Will keep hunting. Thanks again Pam.

There are quite a few pictures if you put ....school badges... on the images section on Google. You just might find a match. Gwyn
