Ms Parkinson and Mr Woodcock. A number of the boys including me went to WGS in 1964.
Do you recognise anyone?
That's not Mr. Woodcock, but who it is I can't help you I'm afraid.
Could it be Mr.Briggs ?
Thanks for your comments. Hi Philip, did we meet at a WGS reunion some years ago? Sadly my father Nigel Winnard passed away in 2013. I really hope some class members can help.
It's Mr Briggs and Miss Parkinson (Head Mistress). My best guess...
Back row (L to R): one of the Jones twins (Kathryn I think),Linda Marsh, Edah Boardman, Sally Dickinson, Helen Gillespie, Janet Livesey, Susan Jones (twin of Kathryn).
Middle row: X, David Thompson, Peter Walker, Tony Cowpe, Nicholas Ince, Ian (or John) Murray, Jeremy Booth, Timothy Linacre, X, Paul?, Karl Winnard.
Front row: Janet Martindale, Louise Burney, Nicola Kershaw, Sheila McKinley, Patricia? Janice McCreery, Anita Gee, Carol (H?), Ffion Bibby, Susan Ellison, Janet Bretherton, Carol Booth.
Would be good to know the 'x's and if any of above are wrong - to complete the set.
Think Mr Briggs had a Morris Minor Traveller with wooden frame and went very red when he was annoyed.
Mr Woodcock (Harry) was stockier and used more Brylcreem.
Mr Woodcock was already at Woodfield before Mr Briggs joined.
Hi Classmate, thanks so much for all the info. Its really taken me back, but which one is you?
Could missing x middle row be John Richardson ? Were Carol Hilton and Patricia Locker other names ? Happy days weren't they ?
Second thoughts it was Patricia Waller I think. Her father was a policeman and they lived near the shops in Queensway ?
Mr Briggs was our class teacher in junior 2 and again in junior 4. I agree with most of the names above and can add a few more:
Back row (L to R): Kathryn Jones, Linda Marsh, Edah Boardman, Sally Dickinson, Helen Gillespie, Janet Livesey, Susan Jones (twin of Kathryn).
Middle row: John Richardson, David Thompson, Peter Walker, Tony Cowpe, Nicholas Ince, John Murray, Jeremy Booth, Timothy Linacre, X, David Hanson?, Karl Winnard.
Front row: Janet Martindale, Louise Burney, Nicola Kershaw, Sheila McKinley, Patricia Waller, Janice McCreery, Anita Gee, Carol Holding, Ffion Bibby, Susan Ellison, Janet Bretherton, Carol Booth.
I think the only one I am missing is middle row, 3rd from right - there was a boy, Stanley Higginson, who joined us from Rhodesia towards the end of primary school - could this be him?
Hello Karl. A bit late replying but we did meet at a WGS reunion . There should be a meeting next year if you are interested. How’s Adrian doing. I can clearly remember your house in Walkden Ave
