Class photo, St George's CofE School, Brentford, 1938/9

Jeanne Whitby has provided this photo, which has been scanned by Diane Lockie. Jeanne thinks it is from 1938/9 and it shows children from St George's C of E School.

The front and back rows are boys, with two rows of girls between them: 19 boys and 23 girls, a class of 42 in all. The teacher is not included. It looks like a summer's day from the short-sleeve cotton dresses worn by many of the girls, although some of the boys wear a jumper over their shirt.

The school was at the junction of Clayponds Lane and Green Dragon Lane and closed in 1978 (Q103: includes the history of other Brentford schools).

Jeanne has provided many names, see below.
