The image shows some boys studiously painting what look to be model ships. Notice the inkwells in the desk and the children were obviously doing a project about 'Houses' from the poster behind one of the seated boys. 'Projects' were popular in the 1960s and 1970s.

Reverse of photo suggests 1967 but could be earlier. Certainly before some renovation work was done.

Possibly taken in the 1980s ? The Post Office and store is long since gone and is a private house although the pillar box remains.

This aerial view shows the 1953 school and palyground. The present school is built to the right of it. The road running towards the bottom right towards the church is Magdalene Drive which is now is built up with homes. The bungalow to the left of the school is still there and Butts Lane.

Not a very good image, but nevertheless many will remember the petrol garage on the corner of Butts Lane and the old A179 before the Hart bypass was built towards the A19. The garage was on the site of the old school playground.

View of Palace Row, Hart Village. The first building shown on the left was originally Hart School. The plaque which can be seen on the school is now on display at the current Hart Primary School.

This plaque is beside an old piece of wall between the existing school and the church car park. It says that a school room was built by the Duke of Cleveland in 1838. This stone was relocated from the site of the first school on Front Street.
