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." (Photograph & Information Courtesy of Jane Cresswell)
