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.

Re: Hanna Street School

Re: Hanna Street School
 

Thanks, it is wonderful to be remembered for having NHS glasses and an eye patch.
Im living in Wilpshire, married 30+ years, two grown up sons, both of whom are far clever than I ever was. I traned as a teacher when I was nearly 30 years old and now do a lot of private tuition and some audit work which gets me out and about around the country.

Linda I wont divuldge what she is up to without her permission but she keeps busy and will always stay 5 days older than me!:D

How about you?

Re: Hanna Street School,Polly
 

Hi Polly, I've been married twice, got 2 grown up lads from the first & a 15 daughter from the second. Did 22 years in the RAF then started on 100 sqn at RAF Leeming working on Hawk aircraft for the RAF but as a civvy. Sorry to remember you because of the glasses & eye patch, keep safe, Mike. ;)

Re: Hanna Street School,Polly
 

Sorry for late reply, its been a busy week. Linda told me to ask if you still have your motorbike? Apparently she remembers you as driving like Evil Kanival up to the wilds of Belthorn !

Re: Hanna Street School,Polly
 

Hi, went without a motorbike for 30 years then got one last year, scare myself silly on it but good fun (Kawasaki GPZ900R) That was a good night out with Linda on the bike, messed her hair up a bit though, Mike :cool:

Re: Hanna Street School
 

Hi, wish Linda a happy birthday from me please and I hope that you have a great birthday in 5 days time. Mike :alright:

Re: Hanna Street School

Hi, i'm a new member. My mum and her sister went to Hanna Street in the 40s, they were Marie and Jean Williams, they have a brother John but not sure if he went there as well. I went very briefly about 1965.

Re: Hanna Street School
 

Newsagent was run by Alan Dean and his wife. I was one of his paper boys. My Grandma ran the ironmongers at 37 Ormerod Street, next door to the newsagents.

Re: Hanna Street School
 

The newsagent was run by Mr & Mrs Alan Dean 39 Ormerod Street. I was one of their paperboys.Next door at 37 was my Grandma who ran the ironmonger/hardware shop there. It had a sign on the door saying J. Fisher (Grandma's second husband). She sold paraffin, clog irons and even a few horseshoe irons.

Re: Hanna Street School
 

I was in the same class as Bernard, Helen, Gwendoline, Jimmy, Linda (my 'girlfriend') Johnson. Around 1958-1961. There was always a rhythmic thud coming from across the playground which I now realise was from the Fountain Foundry in Fountain Street and an acrid smell, a bit like burnt sugar, which I think was the molten iron making contact with the sand in the moulding beds.
