Founding of the The New School at Loughborough - the Procession, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Founding of the The New School at Loughborough, [Leicestershire] - the Procession, 1850. A procession was then formed to the School grounds. Probably at no period in the town's history was such a heart-stirring sight as this ever beheld. The fine band of the 1st Royal Dragoons preceded...The entrance lodge was surmounted by an arch of evergreens, bearing, in floral mosaic, the word Welcome". This was, indeed, no unmeaning word here; for not only were the hosts of juveniles regaled with tea and cake on the lawn, but the public, calculated at fifteen thousand, freely admitted and welcomed with an old English hospitality rarely if ever surpassed....The Lord Bishop of Peterborough, who is not only a native of Loughborough, but was a distinguished pupil of the former school, founded from the estates of the same beneficent donor, kindly consented to lay the stone'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
