| Description | The scrapbook begins with a frontispiece print of the New Meeting House, Birmingham. A handwritten note on the first page states that the scrap book was compiled by the undersigned Herbert New, Edgbaston, Birmingham (and signed off on 7 October 1923) 'for the use of the Officers & Committees of the above mentioned Schools'.
