EAST Oxford School was top of the class when it came to celebrating the May festival.
No other school marked the occasion so well.
It had May Queens almost every year from 1920 until it closed down in 1973.
These photographs from the annual celebrations were found by Mrs M Roper, of Mortimer Road, Rose Hill, Oxford, when she was sorting through the belongings of her late mother-in-law. She writes: “I think they were taken at East Oxford School in the late 1950s. I wonder if any of the pupils recognise themselves.”
Over to you.
