New school buildings at Eton College, 1862. Creator: Unknown
New school buildings at Eton College, [Berkshire], 1862. Great inconvenience having arisen from the insufficiency of school accommodation at Eton, apian has been prepared by Mr, Henry Woodyer, of new schoolrooms in accordance with the style of the other college buildings, which, as they will occupy a central position, are calculated to present a very beautiful and imposing appearance. The building will consist of two wings, in the angle of which will rise a tower, which will be seen throughout the main street of the college, and will form a pleasing object in perspective with the trees of the Long Walk and the chapel...The new building will supply thirteen additional schoolrooms for the use of the boys, at the cost of £10, 000; the college having also undertaken to rebuild Mr. Waytes house at a further expense of £6000. The greater part of the sum required for the schools has already been subscribed by the college and masters, aided by the liberal contributions of several old Etonians. Her Majesty has also been graciously pleased to subscribe £100, and his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort subscribed £50. Messrs. Lawrence Brothers, of Waltham St, Lawrence, Berks, are the builders'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the construction progress of the new school buildings at Eton College in Berkshire, England, in 1862. The photograph showcases the architectural beauty and grandeur of the new structures, designed by Henry Woodyer in accordance with the existing college buildings' style. The new schoolrooms, consisting of two wings, will occupy a central position and feature a striking tower, enhancing the college's main street perspective with the trees of the Long Walk and the chapel. The new building aims to alleviate the insufficient school accommodation at Eton College by providing thirteen additional schoolrooms for the boys at a cost of £10,000. The college also undertook the rebuilding of Mr. Waytes' house at an additional expense of £6000. The majority of the funds for the schools have already been raised through the generous contributions of the college, masters, and several old Etonians. Her Majesty and the late Prince Consort graciously subscribed £100 and £50, respectively, to support this worthy cause. The building process of these new schoolrooms represents the college's commitment to providing adequate education facilities for its students, reflecting the institution's rich history and tradition. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the transformation of Eton College during the mid-19th century.
