This week’s pictures from the past
Friday 11th September 2009, 9:00AM BST.
Back to school this week! So, to celebrate (if that’s the right word), we’ll carry some school-related pictures in this slot over the next few days.
The original caption to this photo was: “Eleven-year-old Lorna Williams takes a nostalgic last look at her classroom in Bourton Church of England School. The old school, built 148 years ago, closed yesterday despite a fight by the villagers for it to remain open.”
The picture was taken on July 21, 1971. The children went to a new school at Brockton the following term.
