Figure 1.--Runcorn is an industrial town and cargo port in Cheshire. It is located southeast of the Liverpool southern bank of the River Mersey. This wear the estuary narrows to form the Runcorn Gap. We have found a photograph that looks to date to the mid-1930s. It is a coed school. The children look to be about 10-11 years old. The boys seem to be wearing suits, some of the vests, or what look like sweater shirts. Most of the boys are wearing ties with their sweater shirts. They also wear shirt psnts and as far as we can tell knee socks. The girls are waering simple dresses. We can't tell nuch more about the dresses. Several of the girls are wearing long stockings.

By this time boys are no longer wearing long stockings. The photograph was taken in the school yard, but we can't see much of the school, probably a brick school.
