This is lovely! I love the pics of old classrooms,and the children's clothing is so reminiscent of when we used to get dressed up in our best clothes for the school Christmas Party. I love the cut-out figures of children on the wall; I can imagine the teacher made them.There was something special and homely about those old classrooms.Thankyou for posting it.
I can see myself Timothy Austin (very dark jacket, glasses, largely obscured but not escaping the beady eye of Mrs. Parkinson). I recognize Billy Sixsmith. Reminds me of unbelievable adventures connected with the railway, an open-cast mine, the River Douglas, and various building sites. We had a remarkable education.
I'm not there,sick I suppose!
Some more names:Roger Smith, Penny Angior, Gordon Parr, Martin Tyrer(RIP),Leslie Thomas, Ruth Mitchell, Ian Povey and James Bradshaw.
