Capel Iwan Archive 2004

This is part of a series of web pages, assembled by Jim Batten, from files provided by Mr. Ieuan James.
It is based on a CD ROM, prepared by Capel Iwan PTA, to mark the retirement of Mr. James in 2004, and celebrate his twenty eight years as head teacher of Capel Iwan School.

Use this link to get back to the list of sections.

There is also a spreadsheet file (Capel Iwan Primary School History.xls) which is mainly to do with the school, but contains notes relating to some of the photos in this section. A summary of these notes being used in the file-name of each image, where possible.

The CD sleeve included the following note -

An acknowledgement must be made to the late Miss. Eilwen Jenkins, (a former teacher at both Parcylan and Capel Iwan schools) who initially assembled and annotated most of the older photos in 1988, and thanks to Mr. Iwan Jenkins for allowing her work to be used on the CD.
