I have a copy of a two photos from an old family album. It appears to be school photos. All that is written on the back is Albury. I assume it is connected to my Jones ancestors being George Albert Jones (My Grandfather) or his family. Someone may know its origins. I only have a photo copy of the photo so hence the poor quality.

Hi Kate, As a long-time Albury resident (on & off), I'm intrigued with your photos. I can't help identify them, unfortunately. But I'm pretty sure the photos were not taken at Albury Public School. I actually wonder if the building shown is not a church building... maybe a Sunday School? The two narrow windows appear to have a clear centre with stained glass borders. The distinctive brick-work pattern should also help someone identify it. Sadly, many of Albury's old buildings have fallen to the wreckers. Was your George Albert Jones connected to "Coffin" Jones? Might I suggest sending copies of the photos to the Albury Historical Society. I don't have their address, but C/- Albury Museum, Wodonga Place, Albury 2640 should get to them. Good luck. I really hope you can trace these. They're precious. I especially like the glum look of the lady teacher in the doorway (look out kids)!
