Computer lab (date unknown)

Canford pupils were very fortunate to have had the schools first computer centre created in 1985! Whilst there are no records in the archive detailing the exact price that the school paid for the new computers at the time, the average cost of a home desktop computer in 1985 was over £1000 so it was a huge investment for the school at the time! 

Here is a photo of one of the early computer labs at Canford, unfortunately the date is unknown, so please get in touch if you are in the photo or if you know when it was taken! 

Let us know in the comments if you remember the first computers at Canford!
