A group photograph of Jesmond Road Juniors class Standard 2A, taken in 1932. This was a large class of 52 children, many coming from very poor families. Some of these children qualified for vouchers so they could get shoes from certain shops, while some of the poorest children didn't attend Empire Day events because they had no 'best' clothes.
