School Headmistress and Resident Miss Hogg

Written by John Ackroyd

 

"Stainton school, around 1933ish give or take a year, my mother, Vera Greensmith is in the photograph, front row 2nd from left. I’m not sure if George Fisher is back row 3rd from right, the tall lad, he would marry my mothers sister Pat."

Photo from mid to late 1940's of Stainton villagers and also from surrounding villages.  I think mum said everyone was waiting for a coach trip to the seaside.

 

My dad on the back row 7th from left (slicked back hair and tie). The only others I know are Arthur Whiteley far right with black hat and Walter Lightfoot (in the other hat next to coach).
