Teaching & ancillary staff, pupils, headmistress 1903-4

Lizzie (Elizabeth) Emily Daniels was born in 1890. Her grandson sent us this wonderful group photograph which is new to us. Lizzie is in the front row, 7th from the right, kneeling. The photograph was taken by J.D.Gaffron, The County Studio, Dolgelley. It is not dated. However, thanks to the National Library of Wales digitising early school magazines up to 1910, we believe it is 1903 or 1904. This is when Emily Daniels appears on the form lists. In 1903 Emily gets another mention when she dresses up as Old Mother Hubbard for a DWS Fancy Dress Dance. We do not know the occasion which prompted this assembly of the whole school but it looks like the lady in the hat could be important! The headmistress (Diana Thomas) is seated centrally, close to said behatted lady. In between is Miss Anstey (white blouse, glasses) who became headmistress in 1906.
