HISTORY

This is a photograph of the Armadale “Wesleys” at Hastings. The students from the Wesley College appear to have had an outing to Hastings. The teacher (man with the moustache) is in the centre of the photo. Written in beautiful handwriting in black ink on the back of the photograph is: ‘Armadale “Wesleys” Hastings Easter 1907 31/3/07’.

DESCRIPTION

This image is of a group of men posing for a photograph. They are in three rows. Five are standing at the back, five are seated in the middle and two are ‘lounging’ on the ground at the front. They are all dressed in three-piece suits and have fob chains. They are wearing very small caps on their heads. There are trees in the background as well as an old fence.
