STRODE'S College students walked London's cobblestones in a journey back in time to join barrel makers from their benefactors, the Coopers Guild.

Clad in heavy leather aprons, students joined members of barrel makers guild the Coopers Company, along with their horse and dray, on the route of London's Lord Mayor's parade on Saturday November 10.

The students were invited to join the parade in recognition of the college's role in the guild's history, after Henry Strode, a former leader of the guild, started the college as a poor boys' school in 1704.
