Images of Billy Smart's Circus 1955 or 1956 , the parade through town , the Big Top on the Rec.and the visit from Rossmere schoolchildren.

Probably prior to a visit to Carlton as this was routine. 

This is more than likely a head inspection by the 'nitty' nurse prior to a visit to Carlton Camp. Children had to undergo a medical before visiting till at least 1990.

This is either at Rossmere or Lynnfield School.

Boys at Rossmere School in 1956 shovelling snow. Presumably today this would be a health and safety problem or perhaps a human rights issue! They don't seem to be complaining !

Note the gaberdine mac, balaclavas, and that one boy is wearing short trousers which, despite the cold, is what boys of that age wore.

On Visitors' Day for Rossmere School late 1950s.
