Cheshire Memories: Were you one of Grenville's classmates at Alvanley Primary School?

By Chester Chronicle on Nov 2, 09 08:22 AM in 1946-1960

ALVANLEY Primary School was a very different place in the 1950s.

While pupil numbers are similarly low today, this picture shows that the dress code was worlds apart.

Proud headteacher Beatrice Hatton stands at the far left with the whole school.

The owner of the picture, Grenville Britland, who now lives in Garth, Llangollen, is keen to find out where his old school mates are now.

"I can't remember who the other teacher is, unfortunately," he said.

"Mrs Hatton died recently aged 93.

Also in the photo is Grenville's brother Clifford, who tragically died aged only 26 after suffering a heart attack playing cricket.

If you recognise yourself or anyone else in the photo, contact Laurie Stocks-Moore at the Chronicle on 01244 606436 or email.
