Just seen this picture, my Mum is the first little girl on the back row- Pat Touhey (nee Oakes). She will know most of the names.I will ask her to post a comment.

Pat,further to our chat the other day,I remembered Jean Stewart as soon as I left you. See if you can come up with Lesley for me please.

Hi Roy, Lesley is the third from the left on the second row from the front.

Back Row-first from right-Margaret Brown, 2nd.row from back 5th.from right-Brian Owens, 6th. from right is it Paul Williams? 3rd. row from back- 3rd. from left Lesley Houghton 5th from left Anne Goulding.

I had totally forgotten about Paul Williams,only lived 6 doors away as well....old age again !!.. Although it doesnt look like him . The prices used to live there before them, i think,but i cant see Alan Price on the photo either.

Florence, The teachers were:- Primary-lst.year Mrs.Millington 2nd.year Miss Alker {Headmistress} 3rd.year Miss Lang who married and became Mrs.Mason. Junior school- 1st.year Miss Aldred 2nd. year Miss Burbridge, 3rd.year Mr. Gibson 4th.year Mr. Richardson {Headmaster}.

Thanks Pat, believe it or not, we,[me and my son David] decided that was Lesley,just waiting for your confirmation.

Pat,the 3rd year infants and 2nd juniors musnt have been my better years , i cant remember either of the teachers for these years, just remember the rear stairs to the 2nd year

Sorry Pat, cant count now, i think that you are right, 6th from right could well be Paul Williams.

Further to my comments of 7th Nov 2010, John Houghton unfortunately passed away in August 2011

Hi Roy, Only just seen your comment. So sorry to hear that John (Houghton) passed away last year.

I think the girl with the white ribbons in her hair on the 2nd row in , 2nd from left could be my late mum Doreen Ellison nee Hardacre. Can anyone remember her or have any photographs? Unfortunately she passed away in 1996

Hi Lorraine, the person who you think is your Mum is Kathleen Ridiyard. I knew your Mum very well but she was two years older than me at St.Paul's school.
