Sir – It was great to see the picture of the children who attended Paythorne County Primary School in 1954. It was very nostalgic, especially for me as the headteacher was my Auntie Blanche Waterworth, who I never knew as she died before I was born.

The little girl third right on the middle row is my sister, who also died only a year after the picture was taken. The caption said she was called Elizabeth Waterworth but her name was actually Elizabeth Saunders. Tragically both my sister and Auntie died within 10 weeks of each other in 1955.

Thank you for publishing this as it is one I have not seen before and a lovely picture of my smiling sadly missed older sister.
