Re: old boys
Susie may be right-school uniform generally even in 1967,so were they pictured before or after a trip? The open necked shirts with big collars should give a clue, I'm guessing the sixties.Garinda is the fashion guru, perhaps he can date it?

Going off the shirt collars, and haircuts, I'd hazard a guess at between 1948-52.

Re: old boys
I reckon pre-1950 Don't actually remember any class photographs being taken, only the panoramic whole school ones.
There was definitely only one colour blazer in the period '50-'55 - black with red piping

Re: old boys
My broadband has been down for a couplew of weeks, so I have not looked at Accyweb. I've missed this great thread./
The first photo was taken end of term 1949 - Big Jim Hanrahan's class with Lister St ijhn the background. This was the last year before the new uniform was introduced. I think that a letter 'A' can be detected on one lad's jacket. The other photo, with Gordon Booth top left is 1959. Colin Sellers (RIP) is back top right. Peter Butler is centreish. I cannot trace him but think he may live in Bury area. At the Old Boys events now, the president wears a prefect's cap from this period, and last year's president wears a cap as worn then by everyone else. I cannot help with the 1967 photo. Not wearing a cap brought a detention. |
