Figure 1.--We note a formal school portrait, we think in 1891. We see both the children and teachers. The staff seems rather large for a school this size. As with most early Welsh schools, it is a substantial stone building. This portrait is notable for showing the children's headwear. Most of the boys wear knee pants or knicker suits. One boy wears long pants. The girls wear dresses, some with pinafores. All wear stout boots, in part because many children had quite a long walk to school along stony paths. |
