This is a class photo taken at Frederick Nattrass School in 1948/49 just before the group took the 11+.
Thanking you H Blenkinsop for the missing identities, it almost fills in the missing people with the exception of the girl between Jennie Batty and Doreen Duffy. Would you know her name? I still can’t place the name of Della Abel, The reason I say this is because when registration was read out on a morning it always started with Arthur Blenkey because of alphabetical order. Where did she live? The reason for Mr Brown being in the photo is that his class (2nd top) had their group taken before this and our teacher Miss Dowse was too camera shy to participate.
