Sit up straight and put your hands behind your back and put your feet together sad looking photo really.
If only these children could come back what a story they would tell.

Are those desks the type that turn up at the front so you could get out?
 
hi wendy, could you please tell me where on aston lane was the school, the only place i can think of is by the church at the birchfeild road junction. kind reguards sidwho
 
I have no other information this is an old postcard. I scanned it on a high resolution which brought up the chalk board on the right which says Aston Lane. Thanks for the photo and info another mystery solved. I wonder if the school changed it's name later.
