Hartlepool History Then & Now

School days

What we know about this image :

Violet (on the left), and Olive Forstad standing on the steps of their home at 14 Mayfair Street around 1930. They are both dressed alike in over-size navy blue frocks (for them to "grow in to", which they never did!), rolled-up under their jumpers - hence the bulky midriffs! They both went to Jesmond Road School.

Donor : Mrs. Violet Butcher
