1905c – Photo of Badsey Council School, Group 1

The original donor of this photograph is unknown.  The wording on the slate says, “Council School, Badsey, Group 1”.  There are no names on the back of the photograph, but we know from the late Pat Goldstraw (née Barnard) that it features primarily the Agg, Barnard, Brewer, Crisp, Keen and Marshall families.  As in previous years, it is assumed that family groups were put together for the purposes of the phgotography, in order to minimise the cost for parents.

• Second Row: Miss Millicent Pethard (Pupil Teacher), Hilda Brewer, Ethel Barnard, Nellie Agg, Rose Brewer, Lena Crisp, -, -, -, Miss McDonald.
