Girls’ Hockey Team, c. 1921

This is believed to be a photo of the Stockton Secondary School girls’ hockey team, probably taken sometime between 1920 and 1922. We think that the girl on the far right might be the photo owner’s great aunt, Ivy Eileen Bainbridge.

Perhaps someone else has a copy of this picture and can date it more precisely, or identify some of the people in it?

Norton Board School Class Photo 1957/58

I was at this school for only one year. We moved to Norton in August 1957 and I’d already passed the 11 plus in Stockport but was 4 weeks too young to go to Secondary School so I had an enjoyable year with a great class and a great teacher (Mr Thompson). I can put names on some of the faces but I don’t know how reliable my memory is after 67 years.
