1/ The information on this eBay card is 'Early Postcard, Suffolk, Lowestoft, On Board Old Boat, August, 1923' which I'm hoping is true. If any members approaching their one hundredth birthday can confirm this I'd be grateful. :D :lol:

2/ 'Beccles Sea Cadets. October 1990' is another Russell Walker/Facebook photo.

Thanks to eBay for the following photos and information. No date for number one, sadly, and what looks like a flood that got some pupils and staff a day off.

1/ 'Men's Outing by Victoria Hotel, Lowestoft.'

2/ 'A floating school, Windsor road c1910.'
