We have nine photos of children who were new starters at town schools in January 2004.

Can you believe it. Nineteen years have passed since pupils at Kingsley, West Park, Stranton, St Joseph’s and Clavering were in the picture.

So were the new starters at Ward Jackson, St Teresa’s and Barnard Grove.

Have a look and see if you can spot someone you know.
