Did you or a relative attend school in Cowes, Northwood or Gurnard? Or maybe you were a teacher?
Do you live in a former school building?
Step back into the past and find out more – maybe even spot yourself or a family member in one of the many photographs or videos – in the School Days exhibition put on by Cowes Heritage and Community Group (CHCG) at the Beckford Centre, Beckford Road, Cowes.
School Days is on from Friday to Sunday August 18-20, 11am to 4pm each day.
Entry is free (donations welcome). There will be refreshments and the centre is wheelchair accessible.
You may be surprised at how many schools there have been in the Cowes area, from late 19thcentury to early 21st.
CHCG has added many photos and documents to the 2005 School Days exhibition by Cowes Heritage, so it is well worth dropping in to see who and what you can spot.
