This was my class at school, the picture was taken beside the school wall in the top yard next to the private house. I am the third one from the left in the middle row and know every one in the class , the teacher is Mr Patterson who was also the gadening teacher. We all left school not long after this picture was taken and started work, I started at Forbes farm Littlethorpe and worked their for three year then went on to work at Easigton Collliery for thirty two year. I know the names of everyone in my class
