Her name is Nancy POGSON, was ROBERTS. She's nostalgic for the old days. If anyone has a copy of the school crest or shield, I would love to see what it looked like and maybe get her a print in a frame.

I remember Mrs Shaw's class where we went to play on the climbing frame and in the house corner. I remember frozen bottles of milk in the winter and being milk monitor and having to give out paper straws that went soggy after a few sips of the milk. I lived near Miss French and she walked us to school in a crocodile chain. The other teachers names I remember were Mrs Jackson, Mrs Woodley, Mr Drewitt, Mr Renshaw and in the senior school Miss Classic, Mr Stephens, Miss Floyd and a lovely teacher Miss Morris who got married and became Mrs Byatt. Miss Knowles the head teacher left in my last year at secondary and we had a nice man instead called Mr Taylor.Julianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-64752073078057295092011-07-21T15:33:47.840+01:002011-07-21T15:33:47.840+01:00Anon:

I was ...I also went to Leigh Street from 1955-1961. I was there when Mr. Drewitt was there. Mr. Drewitt had an interesting walk with his head always cocked to one side. I was friends with his son Christopher Drewitt. I wonder where he is? There was also a teacher there called Mr. Renshaw who introduced me to classical music playing the 1812 overture. Soon after hearing it in his classroom my dad Dennis Grimshaw took me to Free Trade Hall in Manchester and listened to the Halle Orchestra play it live. What a great experience that was. In Mr. Renshaw's class we also listened to The Wind in the Willows, I think on the BBC. I can still those pictures that listening to the story brought up in my imagination, Toad Hall, The river and of course Mr. Toad driving his car. Great times.celtbard_2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10398410566614407701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-86638716739763791632010-11-05T01:24:46.886+00:002010-11-05T01:24:46.886+00:00Leigh Street seniors was always an all girls schoo...Leigh Street seniors was always an all girls school in my lifetime.I'm not sure whether it always was?Hydonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723686770197717456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-17525389369587164842010-11-04T22:15:49.355+00:002010-11-04T22:15:49.355+00:00My sister went to Leigh Street which at that time ...My sister went to Leigh Street which at that time I thought it was an all girls school?
