A collection of documents relating to Round House, the first purpose-built girls’ boarding house, built in 1972 on what was School House tennis court. The Architect, Tom E. Wilson, designed a building in the shape of a Dovecote, or a Birdcage. The builders were George Duxbury (OO, '34) and Sons. The new house contained thirty bed-sitters on three floors, built around a central spiral stairway. A common room linked the new building with the War Memorial Library. At the back of the Library were built a small flat and domestic offices. Sixty girls moved in from the beginning of the 1972 Winter term and the boarding house was officially opened on 28 October 1972 by Mrs Haywood.
