Videos and DVDs

This page was last changed on 20 January 2002

We now have access to four videos which could be of interest at least to some Old Scholars.

1 - A Glimpse of the Past: The Borough of Southgate as it was in the Early 1950's (Running time 31 minutes).

2 - Southgate Celebrates the Coronation: June 1953 (Running Time 31 minutes).

These first two are commercial productions, the copies of original colour films, and are available from Gateway Film Productions at £13 each, including delivery in the UK. They can be ordered by phone: 01707 872054 or by e-mail:

3 - Southgate County Year Reunion 1947-1952: 20th October 1989 plus views of the Old School buildings in Fox Lane and at Minchenden - shot by Pauline Reynolds (née Farmer) and Jillian Milne (née Parsons) - Running time 33.5 minutes).

4 - Southgate County Old Scholars 8th Biennial Reunion at Firs Hall: 27th September 1996 - shot by Maureen Worrall (née Trueman) - Running time 27 minutes.

Numbers 3 and 4 are both "amateur" efforts, shot by actual Old Scholars, the quality of No. 3 being less good as it had to be transferred from the North American NTSC format. We hope that it will be possible to make these available for downloading from the Website at some (probably quite distant) time in the future.

We are still hoping to hear of the whereabouts of the films that used to be kept in the store room between the Physics and Chemistry Lab's at Fox Lane: the first football match between the School and the Old Boys, about 1923, Mr Everard playing tennis at the Old Scholars Club at Brackendale and the 1952 School Sports held at Broomfield Park - and possibly others.
