School photos

I see some school photos on here from time to time......but never for the right time and right school I went to.
Would be very interested to see any from Hannah St 1950-1951
Spring Hill 1951-1956 and Accy Grammar 1957-1961.
Are any of these schools still standing? I know Accy Grammar was demolished but what about the other two?

I went to all the 3 schools but later. I started Hannah Street in 1954 and went on fron there. Spring Hill have moved to a new school off Exchange Street but I dont know if Hannah Street is still standing.

AGS on Blackburn Rd moved to Moorhead in 1968 but was killed off in 75. I am mem sec for the Old Boys I haven't got a copy of any photos to offer you, though I am sure they exist and with a bit of luck I could obtain one BUT THE SENDING OF THEM IS BEYOND MY CAPABILITIES. (Blushes with shame) I will PM you on this.
I suggest you search for threads on the other two schools using the Search button above and post your appeal.

You can always check on Google earth or BING maps to see if areas and buildings have changed or been demolished...accurate to a few years ago I would think......

Hannah st school is still there and Spring hill school has been knocked down and re built across the rd.

If you PM me and let me have your email I can provide a number of AGS photos that were passed to me by an old classmate. They cover the period '50 - '55

Atarah, I sent you a reply to your PM, but not sure if it went OK on my phone. If the electronic copy is suitable please let me have your email.
