I spent 5 happy years at the Convent from 1945 to 1950. It was a pity it was demolished as it was a lovely building both inside and out. Does anyone recognise themselves from the photo? - that's me, front row lst on right! Maureen Lester (nee Mitchell)
Great picture Maureen. Everyone looking very prim and proper for the photographer.
This brings back memories,Sister Edith ,Sister Rose Julie and Sister Julie Ursula spring to mind, I still see Maureen Mort and Hilda Gore sometimes.
I remember it well!!! Anyone got my Year group? 1947-54
Lots of memories of the convent-
I was there 1959-1964, anyone got any photos of this period
Sister Marie-Therese was the headmistress, a formidable lady!
Does anyone remember Sybil Kearney? She is 74 now.
Does anyone know if photographs of the stained glass 'house' windows (in the Salle) exist? If anyone has photos, please post them to this website. Thanks (in hope).
Does anyone have photos from 1950 to 1955?
I was there 1952 to 1958 has anyone got any photos.
