Lovely to see this photograph. My Mum, Christine Brown, aged approximately 10/11 years old, second row from front, and 2nd child from the right, is on here. Her very good friend of many years, even after they were both married, Winnie Collinson is also in the photograph. Elizabeth (Ludley) Grimshaw.

I remember some of these teachers who taught myself and the class I was in. I did not spend long at Oxford Road as we moved up to the new school at Fieldhead Road. I was in a class with pupils called Ian Fife, Stanley Sutcliffe, Richard Voisey, Janice Woodward, Carole and Jayne Murgatroyd, Elizabeth Riley, Elizabeth Lye, that is just a few to mention. Our first form teacher was Miss Bennett later to become Mrs Harrison.

My husband Douglas Horwood went to this school and he was in Mr Southwell’s and Mr Newall’s classes and he used to talk a lot about David Starkey. He is now in a nursing home and I would love to get in touch with his old school mates. I was at the same school the same years as him and loved it.
