further to may last posting (message below) I have been told the photos are on The Pontefract Digest magazine website. So if anyone would like to see if they recognise the school tie or pocket badge (or any of the children) here is the website: _www.pontefractus.co.uk_ (http://www.pontefractus.co.uk) (click on Photo Gallery then on latest additions, there are 27 pictures of the school children) Jane suggested they may be visitors to Pontefract, but from where? thank you, maureen Hiya, a friend has asked me if I know/knew of a school around Pontefract called St Catherine's I can't recall one & there are no churches with that name. The friend has been sent bag of photos or slides of Pontefract & among them are some of young children in uniform. The name St Catherine's School 1948 is wrote on some of them. thanks for any help, Maureen
