Lichfield Cathedral Choristers in Summer 1970

A slightly convoluted series of events led to this photograph being discovered in the Lichfield Cathedral School archives a few months ago. It shows the choristers standing on the steps leading to the South transept door after a recording session for the Ascensiontide Evensong LP in summer 1970.

The inscription on the reverse of the image reads:

The Choristers after a recording session within Cathedral, Summer Term 1970.
