Chester History and Heritage Centre hosts school exhibition
If you remember your school days as the happiest days of your life, then the Chester History and Heritage Centre would like to see proof.
Elaine Pierce-Jones is mounting an exhibition entitled The Best Days of our Lives at the centre, on Bridge Street Row, from March 30 to May 28.
She said: "I know that people like to see pictures from living memory so I am looking for photographs from about the 1930s onwards.
"As well as class photographs I would love to see more informal shots from school trips or days out or just daily life at school."
Elaine already has one photograph from St Olave's School, which was behind St Michael and St Olave's Church, Lower Bridge Street. The school was one of Chester's three ragged schools, created to educate the city's poorest children. It closed in the 1940s.
If you have any photographs of your school days in Chester, take them to the Chester History & Heritage Centre at St Michael's Church, Bridge Street Row or telephone Elaine Pierce-Jones on 01244 402110.
