Carol McGuire, who now lives in Australia, would dearly love to obtain a copy of a photograph of herself and classmates who were the first pupils at the opening of Llantarnam School in 1954. Can anyone help?

Update: 2nd April 2006 - Sara Norton, from Croesyceiliog, kindly sent in a scanned photograph belonging to her mum, Barbara Loder, who was a pupil at the newly opened School. The photograph included all the pupils who attended in 1955, and was about one metre long !!! that's about 3feet in `old money` ... Unfortunately, I haven't got a wide screen monitor, so I've chopped up the photograph into more manageable sections ..... Now then folks, I've done my part, the rest is up to you .... If you recognise yourself and/or can name others please click here to email me.
