It would be more precise to describe the image as Easington Schools; being a classic Poor Law School. Boys one side and girls the other; each with a separate entrance. Ray Brown told us: “This has come from Joe Fenby, he lived in the now converted School for many years and had then just celebrated his 90th birthday; Ray was told that the Girl in the picture was Joe’s mother but he could not say for certain.”
