Dining hall, Quaker school, Whanganui

These well-fed and happy faces from around 1956 testify to the quality of the meals served in the Cadbury dining hall at the Friends School, Whanganui. The hall was named after a famous British Quaker family whose chocolate products were well-known in New Zealand. The school ran from 1920 to 1969. Since 1974 part of the school site has been the location of the Quaker Settlement, a community that houses several families.
