-
Possibly the most significant event in Annie Lund’s life was the death of her father, a farmer in Brafferton, North Yorkshire, in a shooting accident in 1879 when she was five.
This sudden bereavement brought the Lund family of at least seven children to Manningham in Bradford. Annie was the youngest daughter but one. In 1886 she was sent to the Salt High School for Girls, a fee-paying school. She moved from being a pupil to being a teacher in 1893.
It was a solid career with a salary starting at £90 a year rising by many increments to £315 a year. in 1921, amply repaying the money her family spent on her education.
She retired in 1933 and died in 1950, leaving £7,800 (about £240,000 in 2026) - Additional information
