Individual English Primary Schools: Hatfield N.4


Figure 1.-- We have an undated class portrait from a primary school designated Hatfield N.4. We can see the school in the background. Hatfield was apparently known for its workhouse / poor schools. This looks to us, however, as a typical English primary school. There are about 50 boys, but this may have been one class. The portrait is undated, but looks like it was taken about 1900, perhaps a few years earlier. The boys are all wearing knee pants and long stockings with all kinds of different blouses and jackets. The headwear is especially interesting, the boys are mostly but not all weating caps. They look to be about 7-8 years old.
