Here is my photo from Dovecote Street. I thought it was 1947 but if the previous photo is correct for 1947 then mine must be later ( not much!)

Quite possibly 1947 as each year group would have a separate photo taken - I don't think any of the names are duplicated?

Just a snippet - my wife was born 1942 and started at Cross Street School. When she moved up she went straight to Edwin Street School. She is just a year younger than those in the photograph. She lived in Ivy Street.
