Hi Rose

 

Nope, the "Marian Richardson Script " means nothing to me so that must have been after I left in 1959. Also wanted to let you know that I've managed to post the school photo but it's in the " History and Expats " section under " Woodburn School ". Take a look and let me know if you're on it. Are you the girl with ringlets stood in the third row back by any chance ? Let me know if there are any names you remember that we haven't already mentioned.

 

Regards

You've just reminded me, my auntie used to live at the end of Broughton Lane actually on Attercliffe Common, her name was Joan Allen and her husband was called Frank. They had 1 daughter Kay. I think they used to go in the Pheasant. Their house was a back to back, 3 rooms all on top of each other, I don't know how they lived but they were happy.

By way of explanation:-

 

If you can write in an ordinary, rounded style, (what I would describe as "modern", rather than spiky and italic) then you are writing in "Marian Richardson".

 

You are approx a year younger or so than my late mother (If you were leaving school at 15 in '59) and the "M-R" script is the hand my mother was taught to write in, as was pretty much everyone who went to school post 1940s (myself included). My father writes in the older style, despite being just four years older than my mother was.
