The date is estimated but I do not think it will be before 1955. I have most of the names but would be grateful if anyone can fill in the blanks. Also does anyone have another Widewall School photo before 1960? - I believe there was another one but I do not have it.

I believe the back row would read:- John Scott,Leonard Thomson,James Norquay, Tom Rosie, Ivan Omand, John Taylor and Alec Swannie.
In the second row the girl named as Sally should be Ivy Norquay, her sister, from Kirk, while the two girls at the end of the row after Etta Henderson are Helen Norquay(Kirk)and Iris Scott (Quoyangry).
While we have some photos of the Widewall School, we would be interested to compare these with the ones you have Elizabeth.
