Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Just a thought. Does anyone remember Pamela Marsden? (I think that's the name; sorry, I'm old .... older than dirt). Late 50s, early 60s. Red hair. A little hottie. Ooops, sorry about that. I believe I had a crush on her.

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Hi everyone, I used to go to Paddock House and had been trying to find it for ages, it's thanks to this site that I finally know what happened. I think I went I 1955 not quite sure exactly because of family upheavals. All I have i a picture of me in the winter uniform before starting, it was taken on the triagle off India St Acrington, I have lost all other photos, my grandmother kept them and then we got separated by large oceans. I only attended the junior school, we moved to Bolton at one point but not before I spent one year at St Christophers. Anyone out there that went to PDdock House the same time as me. Regards. My name was Ann Whitehead.

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Do you have any idea what happened to the Sisters of Mercy? When I last visited the school was no longer there. I was at the school when Mother Mary Magdalene was the head mistress and Mrs. Ryan taught Latin. Mr. Richardson taught Math, Mr. McKenzie geography, Mr. Singh Science and Mrs. Snowley Biology. Good old days.

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Hello to all! I am writing to see if anyone can help. My mother is 95 and went to Paddock House between 1932 and 1939. She was reminiscing about her school experience and asked me to find some details to help her fading memory. Her name then was Honoria (Nora) O'Mahony, and she believes that she was the first student there to go to Oxford. I would like to know iif anyone remembers her name? Apparently she was head girl in her final year and thinks that her name was on aboard of honour n the hall? I personally would like to be able to tell her what happened to the school and find any relevant photos. Is there a published history which I can access?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Hi Tony,my mother also went to Paddock House but in the early 40`s.Book prizes were very popular then,her award of a French dictionary saw me through my studies.
There were a few regular posters on this site who are ex PH who are now using Facebook,
I am sure that if you do not get a response here then try Hyndburn Chat,Dianne will guide you for sure.

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Hi, I left Paddock in 1974, aged 16. I was in the 'x' class. Some of us have started to get together once a year - usually August time, this year we went to the Dunkenhalgh. If anyone was there around the same time you are welcome to join us. PM me for details. This years group consisted of Margaret Massey, Maureen Mead, Julie Jovanovic, Steph Lord, Penny Cowell, Carole Rishton, Veronica Hunt, Carole Kendal. We are all trying to contact others who might want to join us next year for a catch up and a good laugh.
(You don't need to have been an 'x', or even the same year group!)
