One of the girls in this photo is Elizabeth Taylor. I remember her because her sister Jayne was in my year. I've got such mixed memories from my time at the school - some good and some not so good.
 
Welcome Brumrocks. Do you by any chance know if Elizabeth Taylor moved to Marsh Hill Girls ? We had an Elizabeth Taylor at MHGS. Probably a popular name at the time though ! Viv.
 
Hi Vivienne14
I don't know if Elizabeth Taylor moved to Marsh Hill Girls but was the Elizabeth Taylor you knew about 6'2" tall? Both Elizabeth and her sister Jayne were stand out tall.
