In 1877 a small prep school started in Eastbourne East Sussex which in time would develop into St Andrews School. In 1890 it was sold to a clergyman called Edwin Leece Browne or ELB for short. The school flourished and by the mid-1890s it was bursting at the seams. ELB (whose portrait hangs over the fireplace in the drawing room at Aldro) decided to get his younger brother Harold to start up an annexe which Harold decided to name Aldro after a farm in Yorkshire that he regularly visited. The name simply means alder row or row of alder trees. Size: 8.25 x 6 Inches. School History.
