No 2 & 3 two views looking towards the Thorn and the Church. My dads driving the bus.
No 4, Sally army march around 1967/68 can anyone see themselves? Mick & Cazzer, I am the one with the specs.
No 6, Omo. (Single Decker) No 6 Church Kirk. Again my dads driving.
No 7, Rose Queen 1967/68. I am the one with the bloody hat. Give me nits that bugger.

Re: Chuch Kirk Early 1960s
Cheers Doug & Mick......lovely piccy's. It's just amazing how much Church Kirk has changed over the years...the old school went 10 years ago and it's been derelict land since...The Thorn, the Libary & the Guns are just about the only places that have'nt changed.

Re: Chuch Kirk Early 1960s
Hi Atarah,
There is more, I will send some on to you. I have one that shows the gate and I think I have one of the drop box. (loo) to those of younger years. Ours was a true one. Along pipe that seamed to drop forever, over that was a well-worn (shiny Smooth) wood bench. We put a Thunder Box in sometime around 1964/65, before that you just tipped a bucket of water down.
My mum made me a step out of Red Cement mix and broken Nori’s set into an old washing up bowl so I could reach the bench on my own. I remember that the thing was hinged to aid cleaning…more than once I nearly got my head suck in it.
By the way, it was about 1966 before we had a proper bog…We didn’t have an indoor loo or bath until we moved up fern gore to miller Fold.
God we lived like that and loved it.

Re: Chuch Kirk Early 1960s
Nice Piccys Doug. I use to go to Chuch Kirk School (St. James) in the early 50's. Spent many a happy hour round there.
Great stuff.
