A view of the then Junior School at Skinningrove in the early 1960s. Barry Lancaster tells us: ”I went to school here ( 1950 to 1955 ).” Whilst Heather Long tells us: ”My grandparents Lawrence (Loy) and Mary Downs were caretakers of the school. I went there till 1962 when we moved to Skelton. They lived opposite the school for years to come. The photograph clearly shows the door down to the coke house which I loved going down to in the winter. Grandad started shovelling coke into the furnace early morning to make sure the school was as warm as it could be for the children coming in. Happy days.”
