 Margrove Park School. The four girls proudly display the wild flowers they have collected. We asked: ”Please tell us the girl’s names and date of photograph?” Janice Wilson (nee Kipling) and Marian Smith (nee Holmes) tell us: ”Barbara Pickering, Shirley Jones, Doreen Freeman and Christine Oliver.”  Margrove Park School, Scottish Country Dance Team.  Margrove Park School; we had some names but Alan Davies and Marian Holmes completed the list; we also had no date so Alan Davies suggests: ”Date of 1956/57.” Front: John Peary, Stuart Porritt. Image courtesy of Howard Wilson; also thanks to Alan Davies and Marian Smith (Holmes) for the updates.
Based upon the notation when receiving this image the Archive believed this to be an aerial view of Margrove Park School, possibly taken in the 1950’s. Better known now as the Margrove Heritage Centre for Tees Valley Wildlife Trust. However following Alan Davies comments and confirmation from Neil Readman there is now no doubt that the Archive was mislead.

Lingdale school football team to be precise, but in later life some famed players on it: standing at the back; Mr Bowman (Headmaster) and Mr Gardiner (Sports Master).

This postcard image of Lingdale School dates from c.1900; we were unsure of the location. Bill Danby advised: “I am told by my brother-in-law, Frank Holmes, who went to the school that it was situated on the corner of Davison Street and Cockburn Street, Lingdale. Cockburn Street is the one going off to the right of the photograph. Fred Brown tells us: “Yep! That’s where it was. The pupils hanging out of the window are in the classroom where I “studied” under Mrs Casson in about 1949. She introduced me to ‘Wind in the Willows. The infants school was across the road on the other side of Davison Street. Mrs Collett ran the infants school and Mr Rickaby was head of the main school. The part sticking out at the extreme left was the gym in my time.” Image courtesy of Owen Rooks, thanks to Bill Danby for the location information on this fine building and Fred Brown for the confirmation.  Originally appearing as a newspaper cutting entitled “Wall Gang”, and originally supplied to the ‘Evening Gazette’ by George Chisholm of Lingdale. Despite cropping of the picture and some people almost missing, as well as names; the Archive felt it was worth displaying. Back row: M. White, L. Ash, J. Atkinson, H. walker, Ruben Hood, K.

Whilst Carol has suggested: “Could one possibly be my grandad Edwin Hood?” Okay there are some names missing from this photograph, were you there, can you supply them please?
