A photo from Brownhills School, I think early 60s. Anyone got any ideas? Image supplied by David Evans.
I’ve been contacted by David Evans, with the following request. I’d really like to name the submitter as it could help greatly with the identification of folk on the photo, but I’m not sure if I can.
It looks early sixties to me, maybe Ogley Hay. Anyone recognise themselves or any other kids? How about the staff members either side? Any help gratefully received.
I’ll let David tell you about it. He wrote:
Hi Bob
In the course of a recent, very enjoyable chat and cup of tea with two good Brownhills people, now living away from the town, I was shown this scan of the good lady’s Brownhills Junior School class photo.
She has asked for the blog readers’ help in accurately dating the photo and identifying the other pupils in the group, please.
With kind regards,
David
My thanks to David for the submission and the start of another interesting local history thread – do stay tuned.
If you have anything, please do comment, or mail me at BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Thanks.

Hi Bob,
This photo is definately Ogley Hay Juniors – staff members are Mr Horton (the head) on left and Mr Thomas (form teacher) on the right. Looks like early 60’s as you say. I left in 1967 and it’s before that.
Many thanks for all good work on blog.
Regards Sheila K
Looks like my uncle Geoph Woodhouse (Bottom row 3 from left)

I will pass this on to some one who might fill a lot of spaces.

hello, has anyone school photos from 67 to 71-2 of ogley school thanks
Denise smith is my mum. She’ll love looking at these old pics.
If this was taken at Ogley Hay Junior the teachers could be Mr. Horton (head teacher) and Mr. Thomas. Don’t know about the pupils as I didn’t go to the school until 1970.
I was there 1975-1979. Mrs Ham was Head, replaced by Ms Guest. Picture definitely shows Mr.Thomas, who was still there when I was. Happy days hey?! grahamstevens@hotmail.com
I didn’t start there until about 1964 I remember Horton being the head. I wished I could remember the form teachers name who gave me such a good grounding in maths.
