My father in law William (Bill) Thacker, (dec), owned and was liscencee of the Victoria Hotel in Alberton from circa 1970. He was responsible for the removal of the verandah which had become unsafe.

In reply to Jan Hall (Nee Christensen).

Read your comment with interest while browsing through Alberton PS history and was disappointed to see no mention of my Great Grandfather,Alfred Crowe being principal of the school in 19century.My grandfather, Walter Mac. Christensen married Alfred’s daughter Cissie Crowe.I have some interesting historical documents that the school may be interested in. I will contact the school and see if they’re interested
Cheers
