Liff Road Scool
« on: Sunday 01 February 15 18:07 GMT (UK) »
Hello all 
My father was named on the admissions register at Liff Road School. He was admitted on 6th February 1939 at the age of 5. Is there a website for this school, or some links I could look at, as I would like to see what it was like and what lessons they attended at that time.

Mention of a further school photo here http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C9989472?descriptiontype=Full&ref=COPY+1/523/302 at the National Archives in Kew, London - under copyright. Some years, not too many, before you father attended. Likely not many changes though  ::)

Hi Monica,
That's great will have a read through it tonight.

I have got back to my dads research and was looking at  what I have at the moment. I know after he went to Liff Road he was then admitted to the Balgowan Approved school so I thought I might delve in and see what his education years brings up on the research.

Thank you for your links  :)
