My mom always said she wore a white pinnie for school and now i can see what she would have looked like.. Great pic..
 
What a lovely old School photo I couldn,t help but notice the two old gas lights still in working order. Dek
 
Notice the size of the classes, over 40 pupils there, and yet the teachers still had full control. Regarding Loo Bloom, I think there was a number of Branches, I know I have had clothes from there, where the shop was I cannot remenber though. Eric

Yes Lyn, My mother is extreme right at the back. She lived just over the road from the school behind the premises of "Loo Bloom" gents tailors. The shop was there for many years and would be familiar to anyone living in the vicinity. I remember the house very well indeed. Since my mother was an only child, the family managed to survive in a degree of comfort not known to many of the poor families of the area. Conditions that we hope will never again be experienced. Thanks for the help. Regards. willey

It might be appropriate to put on the forum the whole of the article i got the picture from. Unfortunately it was in two halves, and I have joined the two halves, but it looks a bit tatty
