Description

This photograph shows the pupils at the Craven School for Girls. In the middle row second from left is Nita (Margaretta) Macauley. The school opened in Queen Street in 1892 as a boarding and day school. This photograph was probably taken after the school moved to the house of the founders, Anna, Isabel, Caroline, and Wilhelmina Fraser, in 142 Main Street in 1917. After the school closed in 1929, the house was turned into flats. They were demolished in 1990 - at the time they were numbered 560 Main Street.
