We asked for ”Help is definitely needed here as we didn’t know what was happening and who the pupils were in the photograph.” Peter Spearpoint tells us: ”Zetland Juniors in Duncan Place; Old King Cole’s band, the boy in white suit on the right is Peter Spearpoint; I have the photograph at home!”
Back row: Peter Thompson, Brian Richardson, ??, Ken Fawcett, Peter Spearpoint, Pam Middleton, ??, ??, Keith Wilkinson?, ??, ??.

Peter Thompson tells us: ”I seem to remember performing this at the town hall so whether it was for the Festival of Britain, 1951, I don’t know. If it was 1951 I would be seven and a half years old. This was a playlet based on the nursery rhyme “Old King Cole”. The two in the front row in romper suits are either both mice or a black cat and a white mouse.”

Looks as though pupils are gathering in the playground before walking to the field, I don’t see anyone I know do you? Janet Lingard advises: “I’m third from left and I think the tall girl could be Jean Parkinson”

Loftus Junior School with a proud football team, must have been a good season! The Archive originally featured this team from a cutting from “Remember When” from the Evening Gazette sent by Michael Cole a former member of the school team. However following a donation from Marian Toulson we can now display the team properly. Members are:
Back row: Thomas Cummings, Derek Arden, Ronnie Knight, Sidney Robson, Peter Campbell, Ken Johnson, Michael Cornforth, Brian Cole.
Seated: Brian Hall, Reg Wilson, Michael Grant, Tony Trattles (Captain), Alan Chester, Harry Jopling, Mr Richardson.
Were you at the school when Mr Richardson came? The first male teacher we had come into contact with; he set girls hearts a flutter! John Richardson tells us: ”Mr. Richardson was my uncle Dennis, I remember my Gran saying that he was much sought after by the local young ladies. Eventually he married my auntie Ruth Nellist of Brotton. In the early 1960s he took over as headmaster at Gilling West, near Richmond, and finally moved on to Stillington near York, where he retired from teaching.”
