Beckett House Photographs

Shrivenham Heritage Society have received a donation of photographs from what was formerly the Royal Military College of Science Library, courtesy of Rachel Daniels. There are numerous photographs showing the external parts of the house, including some of the roof. There are also many showing the internal parts, ornate ceiling features, fireplaces etc. Whereas they have been stored as prints, they have also been scanned and are available as digital images upon request. The photos shown with this listing are just a small, random sample.
