Carolyn Richards’ father Harry Grange, was 9 or 10 years old when this photograph of Group 3, Hinderwell Council School, was taken. He is standing on the back row, sixth from the left. On the third row, third from left is Winnie Grange (sister of Harry and Alan Grange). Alan Grange is the little boy with the white tie, fifth from the left, on the second row. John Cole advises: ”My gran (Mary Cole) is the girl middle of the picture dressed in black, left of the tall girl”. Annie Lowes tells us: ”Annie Lowes (the Station Master’s daughter) is the girl with ribbon in her hair, three girls from left of girl dressed in black. Her brother Robbie Lowes is also in the picture”.

Interesting updates and comments included: Peter Thompson with: “Teachers – R. K. Ormandy was known as ‘Sparky’. This came from his initials RKO which was the name of a US broadcaster and record label. Their trademark was a radio aerial/pylon with a huge spark shooting out of the top. Kenny Spedding could take a piece of chalk in each hand and simultaneously write his christian name with his left hand and his surname with his right. It was rumoured that ‘Bodger’ Thomas never bought ink for his fountain pen – he used to call in at the Post Office which still had nib pens and ink.(The school ink wasn’t good enough for his fountain pen.” and Nigel Anderson added: “A great picture of Headmaster R. J. Routh, a man I had utmost respect for and who helped me during a difficult time. Many thanks to him and fond memories.”Do you recognise anyone?

The Archive thought the location was at Rosecroft school, as we are sure that is Mr Gratton in the background and Mr Tough is second right, with Mrs Tough with the bouquet on her lap.

This postcard image of Lingdale School dates from c.1900; we were unsure of the location. Bill Danby advised: “I am told by my brother-in-law, Frank Holmes, who went to the school that it was situated on the corner of Davison Street and Cockburn Street, Lingdale. Cockburn Street is the one going off to the right of the photograph. Fred Brown tells us: “Yep! That’s where it was. The pupils hanging out of the window are in the classroom where I “studied” under Mrs Casson in about 1949. She introduced me to ‘Wind in the Willows. The infants school was across the road on the other side of Davison Street. Mrs Collett ran the infants school and Mr Rickaby was head of the main school. The part sticking out at the extreme left was the gym in my time.”

A gathering following the Presentation Evening at Rosecroft School in 1997. With Ashok Kumar in left centre of the photograph, but who is he listening to?
In the background is Marion Calvert Food Technology (Domestic Science as it used to be called) and Matthew Waite a pupil. Joanne Ewens advises: “Ashok was in school all day that day but he did the awards on the evening; “I had my picture taken with Ashok that day; I received the first ever award for Food Technology. It was called the Stonehouse Bakery Award. Graeme Lynas received an award for CDT for making a crab pot.”
