Pamela Downing and her two sisters all attended Edgbaston High School.
Pamela left the school in the summer of 1938 and went on a trip to France in the Autumn. In her surviving art folio are a few sketches of her fellow pupils at school. She went on to study at the Birmingham School of Art from 1939 to 1941
The photo above must have been taken in the Summer of 1938.
