Hey Tumblr, do your thing:
I’m writing a novel about 3 sixteen year olds Living in a catholic boarding school in London in the 1960’s. They are troublemakers and slowly starts to rebel against the school (I promise, it’s better than it sounds!)
1) I need some things they can get into trouble for
2) I need some good old fashioned punishments if that era plus fitting of a strict catholic school

Basil Clavering (1910-1973)
Studio Royale Hussar
Queen's Guard
Colville Gallery
Clavering was a successful businessman, and owned the Gala-Royale cinema chain. More as a hobby than anything else, he established a photographic studio in the basement of his Pimlico home, with his friend John Charles Parkhurst (1927-2000). Both men had served in the Navy, and they were drawn to the military men around the Hyde Park and Chelsea barracks, whom they paid to model for them.
