Dowlais Infants School - 1946
Jane Cresswell tells us:
"I am the
tallest girl in the middle of the middle row. Miss Evans, the Governess, is
on the right, and Miss Matthias
on the left.
Peter Lewis, son of the Lloyd's Bank Manager is on the extreme left of the
back row. I think the girl 7th
from the
left on the front row was called Lynette, and the 9th from the left front
row was Mair."
