At play with construction straws in the junior room.
Way back in the year 2000, photographer Alf Harvey visited almost every primary school in the county for regular feature for one of the local newspapers.
Those photos along with a write up appeared in the paper the following week.
It proved a very popular series at the time and now we are digging up those images again.
Twenty years on, those primary students are now well into their 20s (and some could even be into their 30s!).
But the pictures from that time make for great viewing now.
We are sure they will bring memories flooding back for those featured.
You can check out a selection of Alf Harvey’ photos below.
