The Thriplow Society is very grateful for the gift of many school photographs. Apart from the fascinating insight into the differing clothes from 1889 to the present there is also the chance you may recognise one of the children so far unidentified.
Here is the photograph dated 1914 (possibly 1913) with the names identified shown below.

Here are the additions and corrections supplied so far:
- 1917?: the girl third from the left on the back row is Bessie Ison and her sister Alice Ison is in the row one up from the front, right at the right-hand end. Thanks to Angela Lambert for supplying this information about cousins of her father Frank Ison.
