Some fantastic information relating to this image at www.silvershadows.co/2019/01/28/discovery-of-the-talbot-c...

whatsthatpicture has suggested that this should be dated 9 December 1841 (the date is currently set as ). View the suggestion on the Commons Tagr app. If you're the image owner, login to approve the suggestion and update the 'date taken' on Flickr.

A few more Jones daguerreotypes have come to light recently- for example see "Hans P. Kraus Jnr." by Mary Pelletier, The Classic #10, p. 65.

Looking at them I wish I could have a chat with them, sure I would find inspiration and a lot of good stories...

The 1911 County Primary School still stands. The majority of the High School was demolished in the 1980s, with just the oldest part remaining. The photo shows the canteen kitchen block, across the road from the 1911 school, shared with the adjacent High School.
