Eric Bradbury was lay reader at St Marks's church and also Headmaster. By 1944's photo he seems to have changed his name to Seddon.

Mr. Ainsworth taught us at Robert Lewis school in the late 1950s.He managed to get 12 of us pupils through the 11 plus out of a class of 30.This was unheard of from a junior school in Norley Hall. An excellent teacher, who didn't stand for any nonsense.
