THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT was housed in this building,
situated close to the school chapel. Plans for a
new department building nearby were approved and
the new building (not shown here) was opened in 2006.
THE SCIENCE BUILDING. The original building,
largely designed by Oswald Milne, an old
Bedfordian and pupil of Edwin Lutyens, was
commenced in 1932 and completed in 1933.
THE FOUNDATION STONE was laid by an Old
Bedfordian, W Langdon Brown, on 29 October 1932.
On 8 November 1933 the Prince of Wales came to
tour the school premises and in particular to
view the newly opened Science Building.
THE SCIENCE BUILDING from the main school
building. A new wing (not visible) was built in
1958 and financed by a grant from the Industrial
Fund for the Advancement of Scientific Education
and Science. In 1984 the physics and chemistry
laboratories were extensively renovated.
THE MEMORIAL HALL on the left of the picture
with the main school building on the right. The
hall was to serve as a fitting memorial to Old
Bedfordians who died in the First World War. It
was designed by Oswald Milne. The foundation
stone was laid by Lieut General Sir Walter
Braithwaite O.B. on 26 July 1925.
THE OLD LIBRARY was situated on the ground floor
of the Memorial Hall until recent requirements
dictated the necessity of providing larger
premises for books and study. The new library was
built close to the main school building alongside
the Memorial Hall and is shown in the following
