| Notes Zoom in to view the location. Prior to 1959, Windsor Girls were part of a mixed Windsor School based in Brixton Camp (the home of Windsor Boys). It is interesting to note that after leaving Brixton Camp, Windsor Girls spent one term based in King Alfred School, Plön (which had already closed) before settling in Newcastle Barracks. | |
