Who is the girl between Glenys Fairhurst and Pat Cooper?

Comment by: Margaret Fairclough on 12th July 2008 at 15:33

Think the girl is Kathleen Foster. For the life of me cannot remember why we endedd up at Brindley Street. Wander what everyone is up to these days?

I would like to hear from anyone on this photo

Think it was Doris Vose on back row and Sandra Hall on front, Brindley Street was really basic looking back, but remember it as a good class and a good year. Susan(Harris)

These photos are fantastic, my dad, Barrie, didnt have any photos of primary school so i will be sure to keep these! If any of you remember him, he sadly passed away in 2004 aged 58. But its great to see these pictures!

I did not know Barrie had any children. Sorry to hear he died. Barrie and me were best friends when we were at junior school and our playground was in Norley Hostel, where he lived with his mother.

Sad that several of classmates have died, remember everyone with affection, David Brown was always smiley, Harry Shepherd and Barrie Arrowsmith were taller than everyone else. Cant remember there ever being any unpleasantness or bullying when we were marooned at Brindley Street, everyone got on.
