Is that St. Andrew's in Ossy, or is there another in the area?

As my mum went there around that time, and some of the names ring a bell.

Thanks Tony. There was a girl called Irene Johnson in my mum's class at St. Andrew's in Ossy too. Small world.

Good to see this. Although I am 3yrs older than this class, I recall sosme of the names as I lived in Persia st. I attended St John's after a year or so at St andrew's. Douglas Hargreaves lives in Fuerteventura I believe. A girl called ann Crook, who lived on Blackburn rd did organise areunion a few years ago but I don't know if she is in touch with any St Andrews lot.

I think I remember my Grandma telling me that St Andrews school on Russia Street was amalgamated with another school in the area (can't remember which one now) to become one school, St Nicholas on Dill Hall Lane.

A lovely pic and a few memories for me as I attended St Andrew's School and also the Church. The first thing to come to mind was spending my collection money at the local shop!

I was at the school from 1959 until 1962 so I'm not pictured but I really wish that I had one to share.
