Orient Boys College Sports Day
The Orient Boys College was situated on Algitha Road, Skegness, between the Methodist Church and Rutland Road.
This news story, which appeared the local newspaper in June, 1934, gives account of the college sports day held at the Skegness Cricket Ground.
The story reveals many interesting facts about the Orient Boys College, including the two ‘houses’ which were named ‘Cromwell House’ and ‘Winton House’. Once can guess the origin of the former, but I wonder where “Winton’ comes from? Any ideas?
