Old Photos

"I'm looking for any other old photographs of:

-  The Miner's Gala in the 1950s

-  Fernieside Primary School in the 1950s

-  Liberton Secondary School in the  1960s

The photo above of Fernieside School is the only one I have.  I think it would have been taken around 1960.

I have lovely memories of attending Fernieside School, and remember nurse Anderson very well.

Thank you to Iain Brennan who wrote:

1950s

"I attended Fernieside Primary School from 1955 until 1958, before moving to Duddingston Primary.

The only person I recognise in the group photograph is my old pal,  Graeme McGregor (top left).  I lived, then, at 61 Fernieside Crescent and Graeme lived along the road from me."
