Thank you to Christopher Wood for sending me this photo taken in 1952, the year that Ferranti Ltd took over the Ground Floor of cooper Street School for their Apprentice School. |

Christopher wrote: Group Photos "The intake in those days was enormous and there were over 100 apprentices there. This photograph can only be appreciated on a larger scale and individuals identified with certainty when magnified." Canteen "I remember the canteen had only one dish on its menu - stew. However, some of the boys from poorer backgrounds came back for second helpings with great enthusiasm, so the place catered for the minds and bodies alike.
