LOCAL INTEREST - QUEEN MARY'S VISIT TO THE COTSWOLD SCHOOL...
Local Interest - a black and white photograph of Queen Mary visiting the Cotswold Approved School for Boys (Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire) on the 7th October 1944. The school was set on a 350-acre farm and rehabilitation facility and Her Majesty observed the boys' vocational training in agriculture, horticulture, and building. Framed and glazed, measures approx 42x52cm.
From the late Grahame Cox collection. Grahame was a dedicated collector drawn to historic and unusual artifacts with rich stories. His passion centered on military and transportation history, with a special focus on aviation and his native Bristol. Together, these pieces form a touching tribute to the local innovation, commitment, and bravery of the people connected to them.
