Haileybury history

Image of Chapel and Terrace at Haileybury

Established in 1862, Haileybury began its life on the quadrangle of the former East India College, which had closed in 1858. Today it is a fully co-educational school with intake split 50:50 between boys and girls.

Random Recollections of Haileybury by RL Ashcroft

Product Details

This diminutive publication is a period delight, published (as the author asserts) "as a result of an insistent demand from many Old Haileyburians".

The result is a time capsule of life at Haileybury in the 1950s and, in particular, a casual reflection on a British society which today is largely unrecognisable:

At that moment the lodge bell rang for the end of the lesson, and I said "I must hurry off into school now; and many thanks to you all for all you've told me. I'll come again next Summer. 2nd June, I'll not forget. Till then, good-bye"
"Good-bye - and good luck!" - said the Lightning Oak


A quite charming little book which almost brings a tear to the eye for all that we have lost.

Note: Only a very small quantity of these books now remain. They are printed in hardback with dust jacket.
