My Old School

Hardgate c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This is a view which I know very well as it is taken from Hardgate School playground - the school that I attended from 1939 to 1946.   The little cottage on the left was occupied by Peter McAlister & his family and the next property was the School House. Mr Macnab, Mr Souter & Mr Forsyth were the headmasters living there during my school years.   We went there to do our gardening - a kind of "dig for victory".   There has since been another house built between these two otherwise the scene is virtually the same today.
