DO YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE GENTLEMAN WITH THE KEESHOND DOG?

Can you throw any light on these photos taken in the 1960s? 
The gentleman with the watering can was the gardener of St Margaret's School, Henleaze - Mr England. 
Who is the other gentleman with the Keeshond dog? 
Was he by any chance the husband of Mrs Nipper pictured here outside their house which was on the St Margaret's estate? 
This house, formerly in the grounds of St Margarets was demolished several decades later. 
It has now been replaced with two modern properties in St Margaret's Drive.

CAN YOU HELP?

Can you all be kind enough to look at the copy below which has been edited by one of the proofreaders of the forthcoming book on St Margaret's, Henleaze, Bristol. 

If there are any further corrections can you please email The Henleaze Book asap?

Many thanks!
Veronica

SCHOOL MOTTO
“Sapientia est vera margarita” is believed to mean
 “Wisdom is a true pearl”.
I would not waste my spring of youth in idle talents. 
I would plant rich seed to blossom unto thy womanhood and bear fruit unto thy mould.

ALL CHANGE!

The title of the forthcoming e-book on St Margaret's has been changed and also the background colour.

It was felt by one of the old girls that blue cover was "too harsh, and feel a deep rose colour would be more suitable echoing the colour of our blazers."

She also emphasised that they had lots of fun there and did not mutter much so this is why the title has been changed!


Any further feedback before publication would be helpful.
