Wow I was involved in the restoration of this building I was contacted to remove the roof and and put back original stone slates, what a pleasure it was to do, using all the traditional methods these guys would have done. The roof will be good for the next hundred years now. Not like the modern buildings we work on.

Heartbreaking to see all those children, but they still are in good spirits. I can't believe the comments on this, very strange and unforgiving. None of us worked like that yet think it would be a good thing to go back to it. I would like to see the commenters do that kind of work all their lives for a pittance, such a lack of understanding.

Many of them wore clogs and shawls. It was standard apparel then. How did they get the stonework to that colour? It was black when I lived in Nelson 1950 to 1969. Great work on what was obviously black & white when recorded. I assume it wasn't a modern copy.

A shawl was a simple substitute for a coat. It was also common for women to cover their heads as a sign of submission to their husbands or fathers-a Irish Catholic belief I recall from my parents time in the 1950’s.

Disease, infant mortality a plenty high, no healthcare, no support should you lose work, very little money, no running toilets, unclean water when you could find it, wacko doctors with teeth pullers - it was a terrible time that spurned on the developments of a new society. If you'd said the forties I'd been inclined to agree with the nostalgia, but 1900? A lot of these children will grow up to die in the trenches.
