The Haselden Album - Images of Bolton School
A unique insight into Bolton School in the 1930s was brought to light by current pupils, George and Myles Blackwell, through a photo album which belonged to their grandfather, Myles Haselden.
Myles Haselden was a former Governor and Chairman of the Boys’ Division, and the Haselden Room in the School was named after him. The photo album contains old images of the Boys’ Division and was presented to Lester Haselden (Myles Haselden’s Father) on Prize Day in 1933.
The Haselden Album was brought back into school by George and Myles in 2013, 80 years after its initial presentation.
