A handmade cardboard album containing small photographic portraits of children from Hook, Lydiard Tregoz, taken between 1959 and 1962.

Many of the children's names are written next to their portraits and in some cases you can see the same child and how they changed (or not) over the four years.

The children took home their own larger version photographs.

On the second page, the little girl No 10 has been identified by fellow pupils (in 2023) as Elizabeth Taylor.
