Notes: Weston Mill (transcribed from back of photo)
"...at [Johnson's] own expense and on his own responsibility, a school known as 'Weston' was opened in a small building on the west bank of the Humber, overlooking the ruins of an old mill, traces of which still stand in the lowlands of the picturesque river valley. "The project thrived and in 1864 Johnson proposed to the governing body of Trinity University that the school come under their supervision, that it be called Trinity College School, and serve to prepare boys for Trinity University." From Harvey Cushing's "Life of Sir William Osler" (1925), vol. 1, p. 28.
