Now believed to be the Loftus Junior (Duncan Place/Zetland) school class of 1949/50, with the initial posting the Archive asked: “Can anybody assist; especially if we have got any names incorrect!” Keith Fawcett came to the rescue with: “I was interested to see this photograph and would suggest that the date is more likely to be 1949/50 since another photo on the same page of the site includes quite a few of these children and is described (correctly) as Zetland Juniors Class 7,1951. Whilst most of the faces are familiar, I cannot recall the names of all but would suggest the following (some with more confidence than others).”

Loftus Junior (Zetland) School pupils pictured in the summer of 1937 in their last Junior School photograph before moving ‘up’ to the big school in the September. In June 1937 all the pupils from Liverton Mines had to move owing to the subsidence which affected both the school and houses; their are other posts on the Archive about this problem. Note the next group of pupils awaiting their turn to have their photographs taken on the extreme right of the image.
This group (possibly the entire year) includes Mervyn; it is believed that the certificates may relate to the Eskdale Tournament, but the Archive would welcome assistance and additional names.

Another one of Peter Thompson’s photographs a little before the grammar school, can you recognise anyone in the photo, we realised it was the Duncan Place site of Loftus Junior School.
Norman Patton believes: ”I feel sure that I am half right with the girls on the front row: Sheila Potts, Kathleen Grant, Mary Shaw (Bielby) and Doreen Edis!” Can anybody else assist? Sheila Potts tells us: ”Norman is correct. I have this photograph and can identify most of the others. Back row from the left, with trumpet: Dorothy Harmer, Diane Bannister, Judith Dean, ??, Michael Dadd, Raymond Harrison, William Morrish, Pamela Middleton. I still know my line, although I forgot it on the night; “Your table your majesty.”
