I was born in 67 and went to Standhouse in the 70's before being transferred to Prince Edwards.

I remember the headteacher was called Mrs Bradley or something similiar. I also remember a teacher called Miss Paw and I remember Mrs Gow. I am trying to remember the nursery teacher but just cant picture her.

Unfortunately I can not access the photos but will keep trying.

I remember being at SHS when they had a wendy house delivered and it was in the central quad area. We all had a rota of when it was or turn to play!

I remember all the kids when it was there birthday would get called out in assembly-sadly I was never called as my birthday was in the summer holidays.

I remember the dinner ladies banging on the tables to get some order at lunch times-I was petrified and remember wetting myself the first time I stayed for dinners when they did this. The nurse put me some navy knickers on and gave me a wagon wheel-it then became a regular event!! Still like wagon wheels to this day!! ha ha

The song I always remember was a firm favourite was 'The Golden Cockeril crows in the morning, wake up children, welcome the day!!'

We used to take a penny or 5p in on a monday and cue up outside the office to pay it into a savings bank! Dinner money was 12p per day and 60p per week. A bag of chips cost 2 and a half pence from Hagueys.

Crazy what u remember eh??

Just looking into it, actually they lived a 55 Manor Oaks Close (other end of Manor, easy mistake, lol). But on her death certificate, under when & where died it gives 115 Hastilar Road. She was Florence Shirt otherwise Warrington. So not sure if she was visiting a relative, would be nice if anyone knows who lived here at that time.
