Eleanor's Life - The early Days


This photograph of a pretty doll like three year old standing on a chair is Eleanor, who was born in 1912 so it would be taken circa 1915 at the Start of the First World War, with a daddy probably preparing to undergo army training or had already completed training and was away to war. I have no idea who the dark haired, slightly older, little girl is.

This is a tiny photograph of Eleanor, that I have blown up. I believe it is school photograph, as all Greenside School photographs at this time were taken against the school building which was/is built of stone. Eleanor looks as if she is about 12-14 years old which would make this circa 1924, which means her daddy would have been back from the War.

This is a similar type of photograph, again it is tiny, showing Norman's 1920 Class at Greenside School. Norman is in the front row (4th from the right) note the stone wall.
