Hermitage Park Primary School

Thank you to Morag Sinclair for finding this photo and for allowing it to be displayed here. Thank you also to Brendan Pollitt for sending me a copy of the photo.

Brendan is one of the teachers at Hermitage Park School. He is arranging an exhibition to celebrate the school's centenary in 2010.

Around 1913

"This early photo has a great view of the school, as well as the class. It was taken by D & W Prophet, Dundee & Edinburgh, probably around 1913.

This photo was brought in by Morag Sinclair. Her mother is in the photo, the 7th girl from the left in 3rd row from the back, anxious smile and dark clothes."
