The picture is undated, but possibly from the Edwardian period. It is in a family album owned by Mrs Grace Edwards, of Wellington, and a written note in the album says: “Where Dad went to school.”

In this case “Dad” would be her father-in-law, Bill Edwards, who was born at The Hurst, Clun, in 1892.
