Broadview School photos 1959-1960

A while back, I discovered a random little trove of photos taken of students at Broadview Public School during the 1959-60 school year. These were taken by the National Film Board, and were taken by NFB famed photographer Chris Lund for their Still Photography Division.

I am not certain why this set of photos was taken, but it is a nice sampling of school life 60 years ago. Have a look, particularly if you or a family member attended Broadview at that time - you may find yourself!

  1. There has been a lot of discussion in Facebook about a couple of the photos. The two outdoor shots are actually Manor Park Public School. Similar style of building.

  2. Broadview had red brick. Manor Park had the yellow brick.
