St. Alban's School 006

St. Alban's school infant class image, reproduced in a local newspaper. Thought to date from the early 20th century. The school would have asked the parents to ensure the children are smartly dressed for the occasion and this is reflected in their tidy appearance. One boy is dressed in a navy uniform which was quite common at the time. There is no explanation for the numbers imbalance between boys and girls. Eleanor Wearden is the only child named on the photograph.
