Regarding the photo in your site “Ness’s School 1940s”, I have a similar photo where years ago I tried to identify as many pupils as possible from memory. Attached are the results. Hope this may help fill in the gaps - from an imperfect memory. Pass on my best wishes to those pupils and friends with whom I shared my early years.
