This is a school photo taken in Blantyre and whilst the school and actual year is unknown, there is a LOT of information about the names of pupils and the teacher, which I’m hoping will be able to identify both the school and a more approximate year. I’m going to say this looks like the 1940s into 1950s. Do you recognise any of the children or names?

Hi Paul, is this the same Miss Fraser who taught me at David Livingstone Memorial Primary School in the 1950s? I recall her if she is the same person, mostly for singing a hymn each morning before classes began, one I remember vividly is “I to the hills will lift mine eyes.” I also recall her being quite a role model and featuring in my wish to also become a teacher.
