Reminiscing about Abbey lane junior and infants school.
Old school friends from Abbey Lane school -Help needed remembering names of teachers from mid '50's to early '60's. Anyone out there with a good memory?!

Head, Miss Booth, Mr Wilson, Mrs Oldale,nurse ?

Oh yes! Miss Booth, remember her 'sausage' dog she used to take to school?! Mr Askham, Mr Norris, Mrs Bullas - very strict!(not sure how her name was spelt, too long ago!)

I think the Head was Miss Barton & the little dog's name was Henry.Mr Askham was my J4A teacher,he was very strict but got great results!I also remember Mrs Pallister,Mrs Bullass ,Mrs Steele (her daughter,Judith,was in my class) and Mr Rosling.I was there 1956 -62 - a long time ago now,but I still remember some things like playing on the field at the back in summer,cheese pie for lunch(I hated it) & the awful outside toilets.

I was a lot earlier went there through the war years Miss Davis was the headmistress, but I was taught by Mrs Bullas, She help me to pass the Scolarship to go to Grammar School.

I was not a pupil at Abbey Lane, but Miss Booth was head at Carterknowle when I was there!! Too many years ago to remember!!!

I was there from 1949 to 1953.The outside toilets were always freezing, we had lunch at our desks, and playing on the field, swing from the branches of trees. Only teacher l can remember, was Mr Howsley, he gave me a rotten school report, just because l had a lot of time of school, with measles, chickenpox and a broken arm. But l think back now and wish l was still there.

I was there 1951 - 57 . When I first went Miss Davis was Head & my Mum remembered her when she went to Abbey Lane .The toilets were awful & always dirty . I remember a Mr. Braithwaite - he was very strict & liked using a ruler to tap fingers . Miss hastwell liked warming herself by a radiator in a small room somewhere but was very kind. I also remember a Miss Skyrme , Mr. Rosling , Mr. Norris ,Mr. Askam , Mr . Howsley & Miss Bullas . I remember eating our lunch at our desks which were covered with a little embroidered tray cloth . They were happy times . Chris
