Would an English girls' school have had radiators in the rooms in 1907?

Anyone know if that's a possibility or a likelihood?

It's at least possible, as radiators have been around since the mid-1850s, I think. Radiant heat would probably be most economical (w/ a boiler system) for buildings like schools.
It would really depend on when the school was built - if it was a building from the mid-19th century or earlier - you would have probably seen mainly hearths burning wood or (most likely) coal. So, depends . . .

Cool. I've put a radiator in, because it sounds plausible enough for the circumstances.

Thanks!
