The caption for this photo in "Looking Back at Hebden Bridge" by Frank Horsfall and T.J. Wyke is worth including here: “Laying the Foundation Stone of the Hebden Bridge Secondary School, 1908 Following the passing of the 1902 Education Act, a secondary school was established in Hebden Bridge in 1905 in temporary premises in Pitt Street. Eventually a site was acquired at Black Pit Holme and a design for the new school produced by the local architect, Harry Sutcliffe. The foundation stone of the Hebden Bridge Urban District Secondary School was laid on 28 July 1908 by Joseph Greenwood who had played an important role in the promotion of education for children and adults in the district for almost fifty years. The photographer has captured the moment during the ceremony when Miss Evelyne Eastwood presented Joseph Greenwood with a silver trowel to perform the stone laying. Seated at the front of the platform wearing his mortar-board, is the school’s headmaster, Morton Wagner. The school was opened in May 1909. Later it became a grammar school, and in more recent times it has become the Riverside Junior School.” Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource PHDA - Hebden Bridge Local History Society Relation A related resource Pennine Horizons Digital Archive Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource TIFF file 8-bit Language A language of the resource English (U.K.) Type The nature or genre of the resource Documentary photograph Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context HLS01095.tif Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1900s, 1908 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource PH29/2/10 - Hebden Bridge Local History Society Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Pennine Horizons Digital Archive Ceremony Event Foundation stone Holme Street School
