School’s out - forever! This photo was loaned to us by Evelyn Corfield, of Whittington, but previously of Pontesbury, who tells us: “It was taken just before St George’s C of E School, Pontesbury, closed in 1961. The children were all dressed up and BBC TV cameras were there.”

Jack Moore, headmaster, is standing at the back.

Hello…Just wanted to say i was thrilled to see
this photo. My gran Kathleen Jones is on this photo.
Sadly she passed away last December 2007 aged 94.
Have found it hard to pick her out in the photo though if anyone can help.
Many thanks.
