Burton Leonard is a village in Yorkshire. We note a substantial Church of England (Anglican) school. The children are posed outside the school. An English company took photographs like this throughout the country. They were than produced as post cards for local sales. The girls are wearing tams and pinafores, common schoolwear at the time. They are posed outside the dchool, arathger imposing structure for a village school. We at first thought bit was the village church.
The church can be seen in the back ground at the extreme right. The church was rebuilt in 1878 and paid for by the local land owner. The school was probably built at about the same time. The school shows a brick foundation and regular shaped stones blocks built on top. A British reader tells us, "The children look to be attending a school function which I think is connected to a traditional religious - community annual event."
