| I recently came across some old school photographs on which are some of my family and thought that they would make an interesting addition to my other old photos of Northumberland. No, these were not taken by me, most of them were taken by Geo. Holdsworth & Sons Ltd, Scholastic Specialists, Hartlepool. |
