I understand that the whole complex has been redesigned and re built since I left which was in 1957,from information from the net. It was a mixed school in those days. None of the names you mention mean anything to me. I still find it very strange that I have never seen any posts from anyone I knew during the period 1952-1957. Perhaps they have not adapted to computers which really is impossible. I cannot think of any other reason. Rowlinson and Mr Kay and staff were only doing there best. The only person who I ever saw after leaving was Mr Barnsley, RE teacher, who used to come in as a customer where I worked. All very strange.

Hi clarelou, Thank you for your reply,my memory is still good but I cannot recall the name Whittaker at all. Do you know which class he was in as I was in the B stream right through the school. My last form teacher was Mr Bolton, who taught in Maths. I lived in Warminster Crescent.

I cannot recall that name,what era are you in. While I have seen teachers names that I know I have yet to see any pupils names that are familiar. While we are all getting old there must be some that went between 1952-1957.

I was also there when the school was opened. You have not quoted the years but I was there 1952-1957. Do you recall Mr Barnsley,Mrs Knott,Mr Startup and Mr Dean,just being a few of the names that come to mind.I can remember faces but not always the names. I went through the B stream starting at Carfield secondary 1952 having come via the infants and juniors and I belive in 1953 we moved to Rowlinson. My name is Patrick Judson, if that means anything to anybody.

Is there anyone who went to Rowlinson in the first year it opened which was 1953. I was there till 1957,being in class 1B to 4B. Have never come accross anyone from that era but can still remember a lot of pupils names and teachers also. Would be interesting to hear from anyone in that era. While I have been passed many times have never revisited. Before that I was at Carfield infant and junior school, 1946 to 1951,and Carfield secondary school for one year 1952 before being transferred to Rowlinson. Head Master Mr Kay and deputy head Mr Askham. A long time ago now.
