At first glance, a class of boys who look fairly smart, but on closer inspection there seems to be a large age range within the group and some are poorly dressed . In terestingly on the front row is a boy who appears to be of mixed race which must have been rare at the time in a Hartlepool school.
The image will probably be from around 1900 when the school was quite new.
