Some more photos of Derry Hill School which were taken in the early 1920's.

The only information I have on this photograph is that the teachers were a Mr & Mrs. B Collett. Can anybody else put some names to these faces? Note the horse and cart coming up Derry Hill high Street.

The only person I can identify on this photograph is my Grandmother, Gertrude Cleverley (later to become Gertrude Hickman) who is standing 2nd in from the right hand side.

the new railings at derry hill school make the school look more like a prison.what was wrong with the last lot?

I expect health and safety got rid of the last lot - the support struts could trip you up, especially if you were at the end in a game of chain tag...

Did anyone practice their climbing on the stone wall - I remember the ones on Beano's (Mr Gear) classroom were good.

Mr Gear was a good chap. Funny to see that photo of him looking very young!
