It ran all the way around the hall and depicted the History of Wandsworth from the Reed Dwellers of the Wandle, to the building of The Surrey Iron Railway." He adds "I recall the first being a scene of an Ancient Brit. 'Reed dweller' . A House of Lords court scene of the Dyers vs. Weavers. A scene depicting the Huguenots. A scene of a horse drawn railway wagon of the Surrey Iron Railway - Wandsworth to Dover - to relieve the Napoleonic Channel blockade. There were more but time has dimmed the old brain-box."

Cecil (Taffy) Owen	History and RE 1951(?) - 1955 Les Cooper recalls: "He replaced Mr Taylor but I am afraid was not of the 'sterner stuff' required to stay for long at the Elliott. He did impress us in one way, among his ‘training aids’ he had a complete set of hand-knapped flint tools which he had made himself". On the other hand Michael Beer say "I recall him in tears at the old School when we gave him an appalling time. He was in an environment where the solution to discipline was to cane and ruler kids and he suffered from not being willing to do so. In modern society he would be the norm and his approach at the time was very brave. He was made of “stern stuff”. I have little good to say about the old school and it was literally a personal and career saver when I was moved to the new school with wonderful teachers like Halsey, Long, Addison, Miss White and several others".
Mr Arthur Owen	Chemistry and Physics, Pre 1936 to at least 1946. Photo 1946. Les Cooper recalls: "He had a passion for all the sciences and an even greater passion to fire us all with the same wonder of the Universe that he had. He was the most patient man I ever met and facing us lot every day, he certainly needed it! He yearly would decorate his laboratory with a wonderful selection of pulley mechanisms which he used in teaching Mechanics. When his back was turned we would re-arrange them so that they no longer fitted the worksheets he had prepared. He never batted an eyelid and simply ‘blackboarded’ a new set of worksheets".
