Hemyock School Diary for 1911-1912

We have the complete diary for Hemyock School when it was located opposite the Post Office. This page covers a period between 1911 and 1912. Mr Baxter was the headmaster. We will try to upload to this site more pages as time progresses. The school operated from the end of the 19th Century up to the 1970’s when the new school was built. The old school building was then used as social housing for the community.
