Class photographs, Mantle Road / Ingle Street School / Alderman Newton's Boys School, Leicester

Below is a series of photographs which involved Brenda and me at school. The first three were taken at Mantle Road Infants School, Leicester. The first (which includes yours truly) was also probably taken when I was in the final year at Mantle Road school. The insignia the two girls are holding suggests the year to be 1953. We are also grateful for father's diligence in documenting the pupils in the third of these. Next comes a group from Inglehurst Junior School (which Brenda and I always knew as Ingle Street). We have a partial key to several of these pictures. Any help with further identification would be gratefully received. Last comes one of the panoramic views of Alderman Newton's Boys School - no attempt at identifications here! You can scroll and zoom by using the buttons on the right. ADC
