A lovely photograph of pupils at Hook School in the 1950's. Notice the many versions of hand knitted jumpers and cardigans which the girls are wearing. Unusually the photograph is taken inside the school - a rare view.

Many thanks to Geoff Gough for identifying many of the pupils in this picture. Can you fill the gaps?
