A Loftus Zetland school photograph taken about 1902-1904. Lynda Robinson who loaned us the photograph tells us: “second row from the top left to right, school teacher then John Barret he would have been the oldest boy in the school. He was 3 or 4 years older than my father Charles Ditchburn born 1897 standing next to the headmaster on the right, whose name was Mr James Thomas Dann. Can you see anyone you recognise on this photograph please tell!
Norman Patton comments: “There are very few young ladies in this photograph! Would that be something to do with social attitudes at that time? Maybe there was a degree of segregation at the school or perhaps there was a subscription required and the girls were a low priority.”
Image and information courtesy of Malcolm Ditchburn (son of Charles Ditchburn in the photograph) it was brought to us by his daughter Lynda Robinson; thanks to Norman Patton for the comment.
