Inside an Ipoh Shop?
We have no information about this shop other than we are assured it was in Ipoh. If anyone can identify the type of business, the location or the people in the shop we shall be delighted to hear from them.
Girl Scouts or Girl Guides?
The girls are out for a walk but where, when and who? Please let us have any help you can. Thanks.

At least we know which school and when, but can anyone identify the teacher or any of the students please?
Anglo-Chinese School (ACS), Ipoh
Does anyone know where and when this was taken and who is in the picture? Maybe the building behind or the shape of the school badge might help. Please leave a comment if you have any information at all about the photo.
Girls of the Ipoh Main Convent
Originally known as the Convent of the the Holy Infant Jesus, the school was founded by Mother St. Victoire, supported by Mother St. Anatoli, Assistant General to the Priests’ Assembly in Paris. It opened on 7th January 1907, at a small house in the compound of the St. Michael’s Church (Ipoh), with only eight students. Initially, it had only two teachers headed by headmistress Sister St. Prudence. The enrolment of the school increased to 99 students by the end of that year.
But the above picture is much later and we would like to know when and who is in the picture please. If you know anything about this picture or the others on this blog, please click on ‘Comments’ under the photo and leave your advice/information there. Thanks in anticipation.
