carcrash   11 #25 Posted January 4, 2006 Mrs Allsop ( evil cow), Miss Ashton, Mr Dicks, Mr Barcley, Mr Portieus was head master but I was there when he took over from an old bloke who had been there for years. The School was to small for the amount of kids it had so when I was in the 4th year of infants we got moved to the Middle School. Handy for me as I lived in the old houses on Coisley Hill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
soft ayperth   11 #26 Posted February 2, 2006 I went to W West in the early to mid 50s. Headmaster was Mr Vaughan, a great guy. Mr Thorpe was there, also a Mr Dabel (sp?). I moved on from there to High Storrs Grammar for Boys. Sorry to learn that it's been demolished. Great old village school. I remember one day Mr Thorpe calling me out to the front, giving me half a crown,. and asking me to go to the corner store to fetch him a packet of Senior Service. Imagine getting away with that nowadays? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
