Today is the anniversary of the birth (& death) of the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare & we are remembering him with our oldest & our newest Shakespeare books & his spring themed Sonnet 98. #Shakespeare BGS Archives #bradfordgrammar

Interesting find in the Bradford Grammar archive - the entire BGS curriculum from 1905-1923! Lots of tricky Latin & Greek translations on the timetable, as well as accounting lessons...📚🧮 #bgsfamily #history #oldbradfordians

Highly delighted to see Mrs Lord featured in the latest Staff Voices blog, thank you to library colleagues past and present who have worked hard to preserve Bradford Grammar's rich history for generations to come 😊🙏#archives #schoolarchives #libraries #bgsfamily

A great way to end the week - we have received another OB's scrapbook showing their wonderful adventures in a BGS Scout group in the 1950's. Many thanks for donating this to our archives, it is very much appreciated & will be treasured. #BGSfamily #bradfordgrammar #BGS_OBs

As the cricket season is now in full swing, its wonderful to be able to look back in our archives & see the OB's that represented the school over 100 years ago. #preservation #schoolhistory #bgsfamily #bradfordgrammar #BGS_OBs Bradford GS Cricket

Nick Hooper was a teacher of History at BGS & then Head of History & stepped down after nearly 4 decades. He has since spent his time researching the BGS OB's that gave their lives in the Great War. A really interesting watch. #BGSfamily #Warmemories #BGS_OBs

As the new school year starts & the rugby season kicks off, here is a photo of our 1st XV team from 1939/1940. Most of these boys went on to serve in WWII & very sadly 3 of them didn't return home. #bgsfamily #exploreyourarchives #WW2 #bradfordgrammar #BGSRugby #BGS_OBs

An interesting fact found in this copy of 'The Bradfordian' from 1958! The BGS Library used to have an extensive LP #record collection. We're not sure what happened to this initiative - did anyone subscribe to the Bradford Grammar record collection..? #bgsfamily #archives 💿🔎
