Thanks to my father, Alan, for these wonderful photographs of Turvey schoolchildren of days past. If you should recognise anyone please do let me know.
As I am sure some of you will want to see these pictures in greater detail, I have set this page up so that clicking on any picture will bring up a much bigger version in a new window.

Schoolboys in 1911. These are an unusually smart group!

Note the pinafore dresses which were worn.
This picture shows the boys from 1904 or 1905.
The two female teachers at the back are Miss Hulatt (left of pic) and Miss Knight (later Mrs Goldney).
The Headmaster is in the centre and he was called Mr Hopkins. I wonder why two of the lads do not have jackets on - do you think they didn't have any or had just 'mislaid' them that day?
May Day celebrations. Date unknown but I should think very early 1900s.
