Oh yes. And I think it was Miss Pilkington. She was nice, her sister who taught the top form was spawned in hell. Well almost. One thing that stands out, and I've no idea why, and my shrink is too stoned to elucidate, is that in the stormy season, the morning hymn was always for "those in peril on the sea." That and the chalk dust. Maybe senility is setting in.

Hope so.

Mrs Scambler was still there when I started in 1965, she was one of my favourites. I also liked Mrs Bracewell, although she could be a bit scary, she always found time last thing on a Friday to tell us a story & pretended she shouldn't be doing it. She'd shut the classroom door, put her finger to her lips and whisper 'not a word to the vicar'

"Watch with mother," my god, I go all the way back to "Listen with mother."

Yea I know what you mean, the whole atmosphere has gone...or is it because we`ve grown up. I used to love Bill and Ben and Rag Tag `n` Bobtail

I was at All Saints from 1955 to 1961. I have posted a group photo of Miss Lindley's class on friendsreunited. I remember Miss Lindley , the Misses Pilkington, Mr Bradshaw and Mr Kennedy,our regular trips to the church and Sunday school, the 'Converzasione' , school dinners and Miss Wolstenholme looking after us in the yard, Father Christmas visiting 'the baby end'.Happy Days !

Anyone got any pics from the late 70's ?

I left in 1980.

Mr Meadows was a legend !

I was there late 50's early 60's and remember Mrs Scambler and Miss Pilkington. I think there were two Pilkington sisters, also used to teach in the Sunday School. Also remember Mrs Bracewell and Miss Burgoyne and Mr Vernon who taught the junior classes.

Does anyone remember the lady who often walked past the school fence singing The Beatles She Loves You, and Susan Maughan's I want to be Bobby's Girl.

Just found this thread. I left in 1968 and remember most of the teachers mentioned. Also Mrs Mason. She and her husband had the newsagents on Pickup Street. Mrs Bracewell made me join the school choir even though my dad said I couldn't sing. Always been grateful to her for that because from then on I've always enjoyed singing and been in a number of choirs.
