BB School Log

This category contains information and images about the pupils, teachers and buildings that formed the primary school in Bishop Burton. We are particularly interested in group photographs and we hope to complete the lists of names of those appear in the photographs together with information about what happened to them afterwards and what connection they now have to the village. If you have group photos that are not on the web site already please send them to Bryn Jones. He will scan them and load them onto the web site, returning the originals to you. Alternatively, scan them yourself and send them to him as an email attachment.
