Another. The background of the school was taken in the 1950s; hopefully it hadn't changed much from the way it looked when Vera was there.
Cheers, Peter.

One of my daughters trained and performed as a ballet dancer so I couldn't resist having a go at this one :)

I think the photo is wonderful as it is so I've just cleaned it up. There's not enough detail to show what was on the backdrop so I just removed what was left because it didn't add much and was a bit distracting.
