Harraby hill Band and N.U.R Banner.

CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE.

Harraby Hill House Boys Band about 1905-10.

Harraby workhouse opened in 1809, when Fusehill Workhouse opened in 1863 adults were moved there Harraby continued as a childrens workhouse, later turned into an Industrial School. These were a kind of minor 'Approved School' for vagrant or unruly children.


Members of the National Union of Railwaymen with their fantastic banner, I wonder if it has survived. The card dates from about 1922.
