This photograph, made available by John Bradford (1946), shows Longdon in 1925. John had paternal relatives in the area whom he used to visit whilst at Longdon. The picture shows the church and would have been taken from roughly where the Hall stands.

At the school's request, this aerial photograph was taken by the Royal Navy during a careers visit (to Aston) in 1974. They just happened to have a helicopter (Westland Wessex V) with them at the time!

At Christmas 2006 my contemporary, John Perfect, sent me this evocative painting he has done - called 'Returning to Longdon Hall - March 1954'. Thanks, John.
