The date says 1924 its probably the wrong date my dad was born in 1927 unless im wrong and its not my dad . The lad on the photo is the double of my dad 

It's just under 4 years ago since @Carole visited this site. Your dads name added to the photo and the info updated to c1934:).

I think its the colliery school

I think it's more likely to be the village school because of the stone work. The colliery school was  brick built (with bricks from Choppington Brickworks if my memory serves me right). The bricks were of uniform, standard, size as can be seen in other photos of the colliery school. These are irregular in shape and size and they look more like stone.

@Jennifer Ann Atkinson - after I added your dad's name to the photo I moved the photo I had downloaded from my Download folder to the one I keep for Netherton/Nedderton when I am adding names and info to them. When I did that I found I had a folder named - Caroles - that I had created a couple of years back. It looks like I was going to try and find out some info on the photos but I totally forgot about it. it must have been the time I spent a few weeks in hospital and I hadn't remembered to do anything about them when I got back home. I had added some text to this school photo so I searched this group for a bit of the text = "front teeth missing" and that returned me a posting that Carole had made back in October 2007, long before I joined the group. Carole had posted 8 photos and a lot of info. This is what she posted for this school photo - '  7th is a photo of some of the children at Netherton School in 1924. My Dad is front left (with his front teeth missing at the time) but I can't identify any of the others.' So I would say, unfortunately. it's not your dad. I will have a good read through Carole's comments and I will get Admin to delete the photo I added the info to and i will upload a new photo with the correct info. In Carole's comment the name Swann does get mentioned. Give me a couple of days and hopefully we will get sorted.🤦‍♂️

@Andy Millne - would it be possible to delete all the comments above for this album entry?  I have just found the comments @Carole made in 2007 and I will update her photos, from her comments, and add them into the album.

Thanks

Alan
