Braving the cold for a good cause
WRAPPED up in warm winter coats, these girls turned out on a bitterly cold night to do their bit for charity.
They were pupils at Milham Ford School, Oxford, and they were collecting in 1956 outside St Michael at the Northgate Church in Cornmarket Street.
All the money was going to the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief, which became Oxfam.
Milham Ford School, whose roots can be traced back to the 1890s, was then based off Marston Road. It closed in 2002 and its buildings are now part of Oxford Brookes University.
