Foland School Pupils

1873 - 1958
 
Ray Morrell relates how he and the other big boys attending the Foland School used the chimney as a target for their snowballs. They became so good that many of the snowballs went down inside the chimney, stopping it up. Who could blame the teacher, Margaret Edwards, for being very much annoyed when the stove began to smoke?

The first list of pupils may not be complete as we have no written records. They are listed in alphabetical order.
