School Photos ??
 

I'm guessing not, but do you know of any authority that keeps a copy of school photos ?

I'd like to purchase some of mine from my Primary school and just wondered if it was possible ? loads of BS web sites, I thought maybe the local council ? (normally the school, but its closed)

I woukld of thought the scholls would employ a photographer in privately so unless you know who took them its very doubtfull.

This might sound really stupid but did your parents ever purchase them?

My mum did and has them for every single year as we do for our kids now

I would have thought local private photographer and as it would have been film, the chances of them still having copies is pretty slim I guess

What about local paper?

Library Archives ?

Some schools have pictures up on the walls dating back many many years still on show

Yes, but I can't find them, school is being knocked down..

Guess I'm out of luck.

Try Friends Reunited. Someone on there may have posted photos. :)

What do you think the chance are some of your old school friends will have a picture of you at school :D Unless your about 18 years old its very doubtfull ;)

Surely there must be xpupils your still in touch with ,its a long time ago for me but a few went to secondary skool with me , and if i could really be arsed i could probably track them down still .
My primary had 3 classes of 20 each , still going as well - must been good lol

Might be worth trying your local Council. I would imagine whoever took the photographs would have been vetted. So they might know who the Company was. If they still exist, you might be able to get copies from them. Good luck :)

We used to have to all line up and the camera would move around in a semicircle to take the picture of the whole school.

We used to have a competition to see who could run around the semicircle and get photographed the most times while the photo was being taken.

The only problem was the obvious evidence afterwards of what you had been up to!

Les ;)

LOL :D It will be good see the evidence, if you still have it, Les. I wanna see you running around in a semicircle as a child. :D

I'll go with Lee's post for a suggestion to OP. The images we took for granted whilst living through the days of yore start to bear some meaning for us after years. Good luck, Pimmo. Hope you find yours.

Or try contacting your old school-friends via the same web-site to see if they can help out!

Thanks all ... :(

You never know there could be a picture of you on a prisoners cell wall ;)

I would have thought that no one would keep them as back then they negatives would take up space. Even on a memory stick, it all takes up space.

One thing you could try is contacting the head master. I'm sure they would love to hear from you etc.

I wish I still had it TH, my mum got rid of all my treasures when I went over to Canada for 13 months to do my training. Very disappointing, but mothers never look at it like that...just as rubbish!

Les :(

So long as it's not on your wall I'll be fine ..

It was one date :D

awwww, would have been great to see.
I must be the opposite of your Mum, Les. I still have the hair from my kids first haircuts and their first milk teeth (taken off the tooth fairy of course) :lol1:

Awww, shucks. :( Anyhow, your reminiscence succesfully generated amusing mental images of our Lessie as a nipper; running around in a semicircle with other nippers. :D

Oh yes there were a few of us at it! It cost 6 of the best if you were caught though.

Les ;)

LOL I'm sure it was fun nevertheless, otherwise little you wouldn't be running around in a semicirle in a competitive style. :lol1: Very amusing indeed. :D

Those in charge used to stand looking at the front of the assembled school, and we did our running around at the back where they could not see us doing it.

Les :D
