Another previously unseen school photo. Shared here kindly from Bill Beers who dropped it in to my home whilst on holiday from Canada. His wife Susan was in this class. The date is 1949 and it’s Miss Galloway’s class at High Blantyre Primary School on Hunthill Road. The children here would now be in their 70s.

This is a picture less formal than normal, perhaps on a day trip. The picture is taken more rarely in the boys playground side of the school and shows a rare photo in the background of the old Adams Sawmill building on Main Street (now where Kirk Care is)
