1942mick Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Sorry for being so late with my reply ! Yes it was near the tram terminus at the back of the Lollypop Shop ! Our cellar grate was underneath the shop window ! In the same yard there was a family called GOODISON and another called BLANCHARD ! Used to play in that yard with a kid around my age, cant remember his name but he shot me in the knee with his air pistol once There was a lad who lived in the end house in the yard called BILLY SALES and then there was myself MICHAEL WARD & my brother TREVOR WARD , I think that we were the only boys living in that yard at that time ! We left that area in 1955 I think it was ! What is your name ???? Edited July 12, 2017 by 1942mick wanted to add something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRB Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just been reading an article published by The Star,and sent in by John Scholey ,following the recent death of a former teacher at St. Mary's Cof E school. He was Mr E.Dore and I agree with John that he was the best and most encouraging teacher that I ever encountered.Mr Jarman was headmaster and other teachers included Mrs.Smith and Mrs Reynolds,and Mr Forester.I think Mr Taylor had either just retired or moved on to another post. The Reverend Hubert George was the resident vicar. I also have a copy of the class photo taken around 1957 and can still name most of those on it.These include Ken Lindsay,Rob Brown(me)Dave Bettles,Glyn Thomas,Malcolm Wright,Tony Hopkins,Rob Hayes,John Marshall,Monica Brookes ,Jacqueline Wilson,Linda Cheetham,Lynn Otter,Susan Wild,Christine Thomas,Susan Young,Susan Bright,Erica Freeman,Sandra Betts,Carol Harrison,Linda Rogers ,Kathryn Walkerdine, etc etc.Others not on the photo,Alan Wadsworth,Valerie Winterbottom. I still see several out and about and send my regards to others who may read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIBS Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hi Rob - just read your post ref Mr Dore at St Mary’s and it brought back fond memories, especially the time he gave me a lift home on his motorbike up to Crosspool, via Fir St - I didn’t have a helmet on, and clung on for dear life especially at the top of Fir St where it turns onto Crookes. Doesn’t bear thinking about, but my mother wasn’t concerned. We used to live in Industry St. and had moved just before the end of term, and then I passed the 11+ and went to High Storrs. The rest, as they say, is history. Hope you are keeping well, and thanks for the memory. Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRB Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yes it was a good little school that I enjoyed. High Storrs,which I also attended was a bit of a culture shock as there were more in one year than the total at St Mary’s. Those were the days when High Storrs boys/girls were two distinctly different schools and never the twain would meet. Different starting ,finishing and lunch times ,and locked doors in the middle. Laughable when I think back. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, a year group was way bigger than the whole of St Mary's school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't even overlap at St Mary's but probably did in Industry Street. What number were you at? I lived at 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
