Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England, UK: hundreds of Yorkshire youngsters - at least some of them paying attention to the photographer - crammed into the forecourt or playground of their school while well-dressed teachers stand on a ramp leading up to the school entrance. The photograph probably dates from either the Victorian late 1800s or Edwardian early 1900s. This monochrome image is a detail of a cabinet card (CC) published by ‘H H L’ of 24 Spring Grove Street, Springwood, Huddersfield.
