Hi David. I too had a triangle, always bought we were the poor relations who had triangles! I never did get over you taking Joan Baxter to Platt Bridge Palace when you were about 11. !!
That should read " I always thought ..... "
Marilyn - Just one of many bad decisions I've made in my time!
I think that is Anne Taylor third from the left on the second row. Brian Robbo said that she grew up to be a real stunner! By that I think he meant that she worked at the abbatoir!
Robbo. Anne Taylor is first one on the left of the front row on HAGS form 4C photo from April 1962.
To Dave J,Thanks for revealing a secret i've kept for the last 50yrs.Anyhow to get back to more serious matters.Here's my attempt to name who's who in the photo.I know that you may know the one's I'm not sure about.B/row.l-r.Fred Blyton,poss Angela Anders,Dave Pugh,Me,my cousin Alan Hill,?,Alan Tudor.Row below.?,?,?,Val Westhead,poss Kathleen Walker,Tony Dean,Ann Wilcox,?,poss Jane Grundy,Helen Jones,Kathleen Reid,Row below.poss Noreen Chadwick,Cyril Dodd,Ann Taylor,John Redmond,Kathleen Melling,David Ingram,Marilyn Morris,David Jackson.F/row.poss Lillian Johnson,Jeff Batley,Eunice Bibby,Robert Rotherham,poss Ellen Gorner,poss Neil Roberts,Dorothy Hunt,Dennis Sudlow ?. Dave I've realised after all these years why you were demoted from the drums to the triangle.It was because myself,Dave Pugh and our Alan were that good, we could knock a tune out of the drum using only one stick.Another 50yrs & you might get back on the drum.(all in good fun,never mind, you got to sit next to Marilyn.)Dave,please alter or fill in the ? if you can.To any other ex St Natsers on this photo, apologies for any mistakes I've made.Please correct me or insert names.'Robby'.
Robbo. Second row down, second from the left is Margaret Clarke She was friendly with Jane Grundy at the time, she lived on Liverpool Road, opposite the hairdresser's shop on the corner where Bill (Cyril) Dodd lived before moving in The Railway pub.
From DaveJ,Next to top r,2nd from left is Margaret Clarke.
Dave,Sorry for the duplicate posting re Margaret Clarke,when I looked on this page, your posting hadn't been logged x WW.'Robby'.
I'm pretty sure that the door behind the girl in the back row led to Miss Molyneux's office. (That must be why it gives me the shivers after all this time!)
