Well scrubbed and turned out boys and girls at Steeple school about 1897. Doubt any children can be identified? The headteacher was William John Pickworth, a Londoner, who started working life as an auctioneer’s clerk. The tall girl on the left is probably his daughter Emma, a trainee teacher and the ladies in black on the right are Miss Ellen Westcott and possibly Miss Ellen Cook, both teachers.
