Free School


This is a photo of mine from sixty years ago of a rural school in Ireland. I'm not sure exactly why I took the photo; maybe I just thought it was a colourful scene, or maybe I thought that it captured a changing world. I looked the school up the other day; it is long gone. One of the photo agencies was selling a photograph of the school when it was closed and derelict. You can have mine of when it was open and colourful for nothing.
