No mats under what was a very high scrambling net for little children! Taken in 1958 in Lister Street Infants' yard. The gateway led to the dinner huts (just visible) and into the yard facing Osborne Road where older children entered school.
The Infants' School entrance was in Flaxton Street and the gateway can still be seen today.
The child in the front of the picture facing the camera is Christine Swalwell.
