Marlborough College, located in the picturesque town of Marlborough, Wiltshire, has a rich history that spans over a century. Stepping through the entrance to this prestigious institution is like stepping back in time to the early 20th century. One can almost hear echoes of past generations as they stroll along the college grounds. The forties were not just about war but also witnessed spirited fights at Fleuss Arch, where students displayed their tenacity and camaraderie. The imposing College Gates stand as a symbol of tradition and excellence. In black and white photos from bygone years, one can see glimpses of life on campus - students engaged in sports on the playing-field or celebrating momentous occasions such as the Fiftieth Anniversary in 1893. Before it became Marlborough College, it was known as Marlborough Collegiate School. Engravings depict its early days when education was valued above all else. The dedication to learning continues today with modern facilities showcased in photographs capturing New Buildings that have been added over time. The heart lies within its historic walls - The College House. A vibrant hub where friendships are forged and memories are made. It stands proudly amidst colorful surroundings captured beautifully in a color photograph. Amongst those who have graced these hallowed halls is John Betjeman himself, immortalized forever in a black and white portrait taken during his time at Marlborough College. His presence serves as an inspiration for future generations who strive for greatness. Marlborough College's legacy lives on through each student who walks through its doors; shaping minds, fostering character development, and preparing them for their journey beyond these walls. As we gaze upon these images from different eras - sepia-toned or monochrome - we are reminded that while times may change, the spirit of Marlborough endures – timeless yet ever-evolving.
