All Saints Boys School, Hoole, Chester c 1918

1922 School Report

This school report for my father Sydney Holland is for the mid-summer term at All Saints Boys School in Hoole, Chester. He would no doubt be very gratified to know that his first place in the class was still being recognised some 85 years later !

Faces from the past c 1900

This very old school photograph from around 1900 shows a class of all girls with their school master and mistresses. The date can only be guessed at from the girls dresses which are full length and look quite uncomfortable to sit in on a hot summers day. The original photograph revealed very little and it is a testament to Adobe Photoshop that at least we can now see something of those young faces, now long gone, staring out at us.
