North Queensferry School – WWII

The Post War Period

 
It is not clear when the school railings were restored, but there were several rounds of improvements to the school.

Electric light and oil-stoves for the dining room in February 1947 . . .

. . . followed by a hot-water system in July 1947.

The [air-raid] shelters were demolished and removed from the playground in August 1947.

1948 saw the purchase of a wireless . . .

. . . and an electric gramophone.

Playground repairs were carried out in February 1949. . .

and again in December 1950.

More than seventy years later the “new school” is still going strong.
