Sancreed School, I think?

My Aunt, at her desk.
She spent her life in education, ending up a an Headmistress.
do you know what year this was taken? as I went to Sancreed school but the head teacher was a Mr Bond...
 
I will have to get back to about that, I will need to check, but she worked at both Carnyorth and Sancreed during the '60s and '70s, possibly earlier, she was definitely Headmistress at one of those schools, and maybe both. She moved from one to the other on the closure of the first, I think.
 
Hi...Thanks for your comment above the headmistress in question is Miss Primrose Trembath....and yes she has been a head teacher for many years.....there is more info about Sancreed School in one of my galleries named Sancreed, please feel free to take a look, also there is more info to come about Tregonebris....just havent had the time to devote to this project as yet.!
 
Evelyn Trembath was head at Carnyorth from before I started in 1958 until the school closed in 1965. I thought she had then retired but I could have been wrong. We kept in touch for many years although I didn't write as often as I should as I was embarrassed by my poor hand-writing compared with her immaculate italic script. She tried her best but couldn't make a scribe of me.
 
Sorry, Sparky. I see from your comments that I clearly was wrong in thinking Miss Trembath had retired if she worked in Sancreed in the 1970s. I never heard of her as Primrose but always Evelyn.
 
I'm wandering if I have her first name wrong....in which case I do apologise in advance.....
 
My Aunt was definitely called Evlyn, Named after her cousin I believe, Evlyn Anne Friggens, 4 years before my Aunt was born, 3 months off her 20th birthday.
The date Chill gives for the closure of Carnyorth of 1965 is interesting, on the back of the picture of Carnyorth I have also posted, there is written Summer 1967, Carnyorth School ?
I can sympathise with you about the handwriting, it is an art that I am barely competent myself, despite both my Aunt and my Dad being teachers. Spelling was something that my Aunt always picked me up on, bit that too is an art that eludes me, without a spell checker my life would be hell.
An interesting thing about handwriting, I have just been looking through my GrandMother's Birthday Book , and the earlier entries are in beautifully neat, almost copperplate style writing, as the entries get more recent, she seems to revert to writing the entries in capitol letters, which despite not being so easy on the eye, are much easier to read.

As a complete aside, I have just noticed an entry in that book,
September17, 1925 Evlyn and I picked 18lbs of Blackberries
September 18, Colin Trembath 1925
My Grandmother was out picking Blackberries the day before she gave birth to my dad, out stomping around the Gump in mid September in that condition, I'm glad I was born a man.
 
I'm confident of the date. I left Carnyorth for HDGS in 1964. I was always certain the school only lasted one more year without me.
I'm not infallible though, I could have made a mistake. It was not many years later that I spent a few days decorating there as a volunteer when the County Youth Service took over the building.
