Switzerland 1960

Picture 1

This picture was taken just outside our hotel - The Grand Hotel des Alpes. This was once the palace of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, and is in Montreux Territet. From it's front windows to the left can be seen the Chateau de Chillon, immortalised by Byron in his poem, Prisoner of Chillon. His signature is preserved in a glass-fronted cabinet in the torture chamber. This is on the northern shore, and at the eastern end of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva).

Picture 2

This picture shows the beautiful Lac Leman in the background. The people in this and the other picture, were all pupils of Stow Hill Secondary and Technical School, Newport. Some of the names I am able to place, however, not all of them. If you are one of these people, please get in touch with me. If you have any pictures you would like to add to this feature, please forward them via email for inspection and possible inclusion. If there are people on them, please give their names, if you can remember them.
