Talkin' of dinner ladies, does anyone remember a rather largish woman, very stern looks and used to wear grips in her short curly hair, lovely woman though.

 

She was called Mrs Wean.

The dinner ladies, yes.

 

When I was there there were 4 dinner ladies:

Mrs Shipston (Anglo-Indian lady with a bee hive hairdo)

Mrs Wean or Wheen

Mrs Menzies (before she became secretary)

Mrs Allen

 

Mrs Lingard was the caretaker, and a fine one too!

 

My mum now lives in a flat overlooking the school. I always wonder wheter if I was ever that little! When we were there uniform wasn't enforced. That seems to have changed now, though.

I think my sister may have gone to this school in the 40s and 50s, does anyone remember Monica Axelby?

[hazel 11]

The name sounds very familiar.

 

 

Was she a cousin to Maureen and Peter Mason or a friend of thers. I think her Mother worked at Notre Dame while I was there.

Hasn't she been replaced by a set of traffic lights?
