Oh I so want to reply to this thread, I love it.
I was at Moor End and left in 1964. I lived on High Street over a shoe shop. In the first photo on here I recognise John Day, he is on the right hand side of the photo. I remember going to London too, we went to Heathrow and into the city. I was in Mrs Glovers class, Felicia Primrose was her name, I wonder why I remembered it. Who can recall Mrs Arrowsmith? The boys in my class loved her and her V neck sweaters, they insisted she helped with their work so they could nose down her top. I was understudy for Titania in Midsummer Nights Dream, I think the boy who played Puck lived on the Lyndhurst, he was small and very funny, I know his name but can't get it right now. I was in B stream, names that come to mind are Michael Turner, Brian Woodcock, Nigel Woodcock (no relation) Raymond Haynes, Shirley Day, Diane Knight, Diane Scott, Ernie Ward, Anthony Bajkowski, I remember the spelling as well as he did as he had to tell every teacher at the beginning of term how to spell it. John Lunt, Tony Chamberlain, Grahame Scattergood, Roger Scrannage to name but a fdw from my class, I wonder where they all are now.
Ahhh,, got it Trevor Garland was Puck, I remember his saying how they "neesed and swore a merrier hour was never wasted there" Of course Miss Fallon was the force behind the Shakespear plays.
Living on the "village" as I did I got to go into the Carlton Sunday afternoons when the Moodies would practise.
Does anyone remember the Flapjack cafe that opened in New Street, top end next to the little gospel hall?
