A summer play by some pupils of Lurgashall school
This lovely photo has recently been kindly donated to the Archive by Jill Sirett. We think it dates from about 1944 and shows some of the Lurgashall School pupils dressed up for their summer end-of-term production.
Jill has identified the three boys standing in the middle as, from left, Leo Court, evacuee Paul Lowe, and in the cap, Stan Coombes. The little girl crouching in the front, second from left, is Ethel Aylward, Anna Wilson’s elder sister who died earlier this year, aged 89.
If you can name any of the other children in the photo, the Archive would be pleased to hear from you – see above for the email address.
