Below: Peter Armstrong MBE, a former postman for St Elphin's School, attended the Archive Weekend at St Elphin's Park in October 2019, organised by Lizzy Dickie. He gave Lizzy a photocopy of a 1915 postcard of the hockey team of St Elphin’s School with the names of the girls on the reverse: Windly, Douglas, Harland, Tomisp, Bennett, Ashton, Armstrong, Gilbeam, Wichem, Champion & Tomlinson. Unfortunately, we don’t know the order in which they are named.
