Drawing of Court House by Arthur Bell
CAM-BUI-PDR-034
Copy of a drawing of Court House.
Arthur Bell was an art teacher at Canford from 1928-1937 and drew a 3-D plan of the grounds.
The drawing is architectural and undated but shows pupils standing by the new extension (first sod cut in 1928), so probably done shortly after it opened.
