Going back now to 1984 and these ladies are the School Dinner staff at Blantyre High School. Shared here by Lena Elliott, some of their names are known.

Morag? Sylvia McKean, Isa Anderson, Frieda Oliver, Jessie Shaw, May Docherty, Lena Blair, Rena McQueen, Jean Cameron.

This looks like it was taken in the dinner hall in Blantyre High School. I wont forget those brick painted walls! Do you remember school dinners at Blantyre High?

Carol Crombie Don’t think I ever had a school dinner, just packed lunches

Blantyre Project i never had a school dinner at Primary, and only had maybe about 5 or 6 in total at High School! School was always near enough to walk home at lunchtimes. Mum always had lunch ready either homemade or from “oor wullies” in main street.
