Dale Centenary Book

DateWednesday, June 11, 2008 at 11:14AM

Living Derby is working with Dale Community Primary School in Normanton to help them produce a book that celebrates it's one hundredth anniversary. By pulling out interesting stories from the school's archives, interviewing past pupils and gathering up photographs, we aim to produce a book that truly celebrates the changing life of the school. So far we've discovered that Mr. Goodhind was regularly late for school due to car trouble in the 1930's, there were frequent air raids meaning children had some lessons in Anderson shelters during WWII, and the school had a famed vegetable patch were trading in carrots and potaoes took place through the bars of the school fence!

The book will be launched in november and will mark the exact moment the school was opened 100 years ago. 

If you attended or taught at Dale Primary School and have some memories you would like to share, please get in touch by emailing us here at Living Derby - info@livingderby.com.

We'd love to hear from you!
