Headmaster Mr William Walker with the whole school. Notice the "Honours Board" on the wall at the back - this was last seen forming part of a shed wall in allotments on Crag Lane. The shed and allotments are now gone and the fate of the board is unknown.

Bryan Gill provided a list of over 30 names, together with the following information:
"It looks the like the Christmas Party in 1936. Mr Preston gave all the pupils an apple and orange. Hopkinsons had the fish and chip shop in North Street (now a hairdressers). There were four classrooms (one hardly used). Three classes of about 24-30 each, plus an annexe for infants aged 3 - 5 years. This had fold up beds and a sand pit."

If you know any of the missing names, please contact the webmaster or post a message on the forum with the number and name.

The numbers can be hidden by hovering your mouse pointer over the image.
