Title: Please clean/tidy - Webster Street School - Manchester - Thanks!
Post by: Leeeeeese on Saturday 11 December 10 13:53 GMT (UK)
Hello Again Restorers

I love this photograph - there are so many characters.... :D - I wonder why the chappie 1st left, row 4 is standing side on - defiance or punishment?  ;D...

I believe that my [late] grandmothers sister/s feature, but have yet to work out which ones they are... ::)

Anything you can do to improve the picture will, as always, be greatly appreciated! 

Hope others are able to recognise ancestors too.

Many thanks

Leeeeeese

Hi Leeeeese  :)

This is a fantastic photo - a bit worrying to restore as they were all looking at me except that little lad on the second row left  ;D
I would like to do more to it but my eyes are getting sore. maybe come back to it later.

I wonder if this picture was taken by the Scholastic Souvenir Co of Bispham Blackpool who were operating about that time and seemed to have covered the whole of the whole of the UK - I have a couple if pictures by them of the class from Burstall school Suffolk in 1917.  I thionk the company still exists in Blackpool
Is here any clue on the original of who might have taken it.

Hi Dai

Sadly no photographer details on the picture at all... Just a simple postcard... I have another picture taken on Webster street, looks like a gathering of children rather than a school picture...that doesn't have the photographer details either...how inconsiderate!... ;D

Hi Leeeeeese
Just come across your pic. Could you tell me the date of the pic.
My dad and his brother and sister went to Webster Street around 1905-1910.
Any info. would be helpful.
Regards Ericx

I was just studying the restorations and it occurred to me...
Is there anyone out there (mindful that pure conjecture is unavoidable), who can turn that lad and make him look at the birdie?
Anything's possible isn't it?
