1938 Peak School staff & students

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1938

We're wearing our winter uniform, so I believe this was taken at the end of term in 1938, just before Christmas. It's taken on the small patch of grass just below the school.

I've annotated the people, and added in the names that are known, as well as any guesses. If you can recognise anyone, please could you let us know in the comments below?

[2015-04-27 Update: GW notes this likely dates from mid-50s, not 1938 as noted on the map (see http://gwulo.com/comment/31453#comment-31453). I've changed the title and date accordingly.]

Yet another picture of the beached vessel at Ping Street in 1936. The site it is posted on also dates it as 1937 as David had originally surmised.

Looking west from the airport, the buildings top centre appear to be where the beached ship ended up. Particularly the left-hand building.
