Old Family Photos From Costerfield

Here are a couple of photos from Costerfield. Can you identify and of the people?

If you have any more photos from this era we would love to share them on this site.

Costerfield School (Date Unknown) with parents at the back. I think Don & Alf are sitting front, extreme right.

Another photo of the Costerfield School

I am pretty sure that the man standing top row, 4th left is Donald and Maggie (Margaret) is the woman to his left.
