Yes, no ballgowns to be seen in those days!Just look at the skirts, - they were probably considered quite short then. All round Darby Lane is residential housing now, of course. Thanks for lovely photos. Liz Fairclough.
Goodness, this certainly takes me back. They were wonderful happy days.
You were lucy. When I left Cardinal Newman you just left. I was there from 1958 until 1962. We were the first pupils and went into the 2nd yr.
I remember nearly all the people mentioned on all of the six photographs, even though I was only in my 3rd Year and these pupils were our Prefects. I know some details of what happened to one or two of them, but the rest seem to have disappeared without a trace. Much is the same regarding quite a number of the pupils in my year too.
i like kathleen only remember them as they were older than us but those days at cardi were great and ihad some great times
I came upon these pics by accident and they brought lots of memories flooding back. Although I had left the previous year having been in the inaugural 1st year in 1958/59 I remember lots of faces, Margaret and Barbara were great friends of my sister Margaret and she will be delighted to see these blasts from the past, also a lot of them came from St Williams.
I often have fleeting memories of my time at Cardy as they were probably some of my most treasured. I have only a few recollections of meeting any of my old classmates but do have tenuous links with one, Bill Burke, through relatives and friends, sorry there aren't more lasting connections from those halcyon day. If anyone has pics of the class of 64 please upload and I'll check the site again for news.
ps, was looking for old pics of Ince Green Lane with the posibility of known images to relate to my parents. Mainly Lower Ince end and possibly going back to the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Hello does anybody R.E.M. bet Zofia grysinskiawent to cardi in1960 to1963many fond memories of my time there
What a great photo. This was my year group and I remember a lot of the names. I commenced at Cardinal Newman in the 3rd year. Due to life circumstances I never stayed at any school for very long so was not very memorable. I was one of two girls with long straight red hair. The other one being Irene Wyatt. If anyone does remember me and would like to get in touch that would be so great.
