This photo of Ellerdine School in about 1929 or 1930 comes from one of the children - who is now 96 and living in Fishguard. She is Kathleen Peacock, but at the time was the young Kathleen Dutton living in Ellerdine. The photo was loaned on her behalf by her daughter Mrs Mary Ankers of Market Drayton. Kathleen has given these names: back row, (? - i.e. first name unknown) Davies, Jim Pimm, (?) Evans, Jim Lloyd, Dennis Roderick. Third row, Renee Lloyd, (?) Madison, unknown, Ivy Ball, herself Kathleen Dutton (now Peacock), Nora Parrish, Nelly Buttery. Second row: Bertie Cartlidge, Jim Davies, (?) Woolley, Olive Roderick, Ivy Morris, Cyril Machin, Fred Picken, Sam Beard. Front: Doug Hodson, Alan Pierce, (?) Madison, (?) Pierce, Tom Fletcher. Not on the picture are the teaching staff - headmaster Mr Bray, his daughter Miss Bray, and Miss Delves.
