School Dinners

Market Street c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

The primary school, on the hill at the far end of the street, had no kitchen facilites when I was there. School meals were prepared and served in St Mary's church hall, out of the photograph to the right. Every day we would be marched along the street in a long crocodile to have a our school dinner, and then marched back again, rain or shine. Meals were eaten on trestle tables with long rows of benches down each side. The only choice was take it or leave it, but if you took it you had eat it!
