St.Just School Treat

Another Sunday School Treat.
Probably St.Just.
Maybe about 1916.
Sadly not able to recognise any family link.

Those saffron buns held by the children were really were quite a handful.

caramba!!
This picture expresses so very much that is missing from this 'modern life'.

I'm surprised that this may be so early. I was miles out with my estimate if c.1916 is correct but I'm not really that good a judge. It's quite difficult to be sure but I suppose this photo is among others you have that you can be surer of. Do the hats provide evidence? As a late 40's baby, I thought the 30's maybe. By the way, I taught in Cape Cornwall County Primary (now St Just Junior) c.1980.

I’ve had to guess the origins of this picture. The place is most likely St.Just. You are right the year might well be in the thirties (man’s hat?). The event I thought was most likely a tea treat, however it could be another occasion – the boy in white has a commemorative mug.
This little instant of time, whatever was happening, was captured on film and was rescued from going to the bonfire twenty years ago – and well worth another look now.

The pattern of mug looks as if it is the Coronation of King George VI, a truly great and sincere man, tragic, father of Queen Elizabeth II. The fashions fit that date. 12th May 1937.
