More about this scene
Now we can see the clock erected in memory of the old boys who had lost their lives in the First World War. At around the time of this photograph, Guisborough received a visit from Prince George, later Duke of Kent, who lost his life in a mysterious air crash during the Second World War; he went to the Grammar School, where he planted a tree. In 1994, his daughter-in-law, the present Duchess of Kent, visited the school, by now the Prior Pursglove Sixth Form College, to open the new Pursglove Centre. It is a strange coincidence that the only two royal visits to Guisborough were made by the same branch of our royal family and to the same building in the town.
