The castle in 1953

Vanbrugh Castle is situated at the top of Maze Hill in Greenwich, London. It re-opened in 1946 as a boarding school for the sons of Royal Air Force personnel killed in the second world war, and was administered by the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund.

 About 40 boys boarded when the school re-opened and the number rose to 52, or thereabouts, later on.
