TonyP, I think we may have been in the same class, your name is familiar. When I left, our class teacher was Mrs Harrison. I remember Michael Coffey, Tony Borwick, Stuart Hartley, Stuart Bailey, Austin Caulfield, Anne Warbrick, Maureen Thompson, Audrey Hodson, Pat Fitzpatrick and my good friend (and she still is, 52 years later) Betty Wilcock. Any of these names ring any bells?

Who are you West Ender?

I know he worked at Blythe's for years yerself, I did a lot of maintenance work there in the late sixties and I bumped into him regularly used to see him quite a lot until he moved out of Ossy, must be over ten years since

Gayle, can you remember the sweet shop at the beginning of that little lane which led from St. Mary's up to Paddock House (back entrance or Junior school entrance as it was then)? Paddock House girls weren't supposed to go into the shop, but we always did!

Sorry folks,(Gayle in particular) only just realised that I was looking at a very old post!

We used to call in the sweet shop at the bottom of Coal Pit Lane on the way to the Palladium .
