Sounds a better option to me Leodian, 'Board' sounds a little heavy for something like a catering arm of the council.

"Leeds County Borough" is goog enough for me! Thank you for that. It is one of those little things that has niggled me for 45 years plus.

Just having a laugh at these funny replies from years back.
No idea as to stamp but during the 1940s our school dinners were delivered to school on the back of a lorry in stainless steel trays.
They were cooked elsewhere and delivered on a rota system where we could be one of four schools waiting for delivery. one week hot, next cold etc.
Mount St. Mary's dining room cutlery...... L. lukewarm...C. cold......D. diabolical.
And the Nun Patrol stood over you forcing you to eat this swill

I had school dinners at 2 Leeds schools in my time. I remember not only the LCB stamped cutlery but also the drinking glasses were made by Duralex in France.This was stamped on the base. It turns out that the glass tumblers were a classic unbreakable design from the 1930's.
