The attached photograph was given to me by Dennis Pridmore who used to be P E Teacher at the Old Boys Central School, Sandon Road .
It was taken in the early 1930s at the Methodist Church Rooms on Station Road, Corby and shows many Corby children dressed for a Social event or Play. What it was we do not know.
