This is Miss Ellisons class who I think became Mrs Lowe.
I can recognise nearly all the faces but sadly some names elude me.
Names I remember are :-
Front row - Barbara Gore and Joan Turner.
Second row - Kathleen Burrell and Sheila Makinson.
Third row - Ray Dwyer, Alan Arrowsmith, Bill Cullen, Cyril Ormesher, Alan Owen and Jim Smith.
Top row - Denis Nicholson, Donald Yates, David Prytherch and Eric Parker.
Many apologies to people I've forgotten - Its just an age thing.
Can anybody help me out with some missing names PLEASE !!!.

Many thanks Gary. Yes I definetly remember Jean Metcalfe. You seem to have got nearly all the names - fantastic.

Thanks again.

A few years ago I was contacted on Friends Reunited by Olive Sharrat (now Olive Carr). To my regret I didn't reply. I have tried recently to get in touch by e-mail but Olive must have changed her internet provider.
If your out there Olive please get in touch or if anybody has her contact details please let me know.

As usual, I am behind the times....but only just seen the above. Yes, it is me on 3rd row. I particularly remember my then best friend "Ray Dwyer" who lived in Bird Street..........I was in No. 58.
