Figure 1.--This is Fargate House when I joined the school in 1945. Most of us are wearing grey suits. A few of the senior boys wear blue blazers. Two of the younger boys wear short trousers. |

Over time the day boy houses becamne more important as boarding declined. A reader tells us about Fargate House.
"It was interesting that you have a picture of The Lodge one of the boarding houses. I was in Fargate, a Day Boy house until 1947, then with an increasing demand for day boy places, Midgate was formed. I went there as a Monitor and then Head of House. In all there were four boarding houses and six day boy houses. There are no boarding houses now."
