Its ann harlow, not angela. Mrs hardie gave me a copy of this photo when I worked at belle Green as diner lady, brings back some memories.

Thanks Pam. I really cawnt speyk this time. I didn't know this existed and I don't remember any class photos being taken. I only joined this class in Junior 2. I was at St John's in New Springs prior to this so I'm not in the one from the old Belle Green School. Junior 3 was Miss Duckworth's class and there was a music teacher, Miss Reid - who had taught me at St John's in New Springs. If this is Mr Ball's class, Junior 4, then it makes the date 1969 I reckon.
I can remember most of these faces but I wouldn't have got all of the names without your help though I remember your Billy.
I remember, also, Mrs Hardy who was in charge of the school dinners and I think she was Trevor's Mam and they lived in Petticoat Lane. The caretaker was an old chap who lived in Hemfield Road - Cornelius Pennington, the teachers called him Corny. Mr Ball was quite fierce and very strict but a good teacher. He taught three generations of our family.
These are happy memories and my kids have had a beltin laugh at me. Many thanks for the photo.
