Re: Hanna Street School

I went to Hanna St school in 1950 and subsequently to Spring Hill and then Accrington Grammar .I lived in Marsden st...mum liked the fish and chip shop at the corner of Ormerod and Richmond Hill St.I remember there was a sweet shop next door (Mum also liked Walls ice cream). Mum sent me to the barbers on the corner of Richmond Hill st and Holden St just around the corner from Hanna St school.Just down Ormerod St were quite a few shops.On the left a newsagent, opposite was a sweet shop,think there was a dress shop,but it,s a long time ago,can,t remember.I used to deliver newspapers for a newsagent at the corner of Higher Antley St and Garbett St(best time of the year was Xmas as I went round begging for tips....very successfully).My first job after leaving school a year early was at the first Supermarket in Accrington...Maypole ..which opened up on Broadway. I then went on to join dad at Howard and Bulloughs at Stevenson St and worked there for a few years before migrating to Australia.

Re: Hanna Street School

If that barber was Bacigalupo , you were the same as me . I used to dread it. Men talking till the cows come home , and he was so slow .

I just wanted to get home for my tea or play out ; anything but the barber .

I went to the Barbers I think on Higher Antley Street as a child but it wasn't on the corner it 4 or 5 properties away from Ormerod Street with a large red leather chair.

In the mid late 70's I sold the newspapers for the first week of Accy holidays as at that time only newsagents were permitted to sell newspapers. it was my first paid employment

how times have changed
I must know you as I worked at the papershop from 73 to 76 ish & I sold them from the shop doorway in the holidays was it Rodney Hulmn who had the shop??

Re: Hanna Street School

I went to Hannah Street Infants from 1954 to 1957 so did both my brothers. Miss Moss was the head mistress. My cousin Barbara Wildgoose was in my class with Jim Sharp, and Maurice Davies. I cant remember any more.

I remember filling paper bags with water from the tap in the boys toilet and throwing them over the wall into the girls toilets.

Re: Hanna Street School

I went to Hannah Street Infants around 1956 not sure when you had to go to school but I was born in Sept. 1951 so 56 ish. Miss Moss was the headmistress then. I remember my first day at school, home time especially, as my mum asked how I had been, and Miss Moss replied "good as gold" I didnt understand what that meant, and pondered it for years.
