Esme Thomas and Nona Gregory were in the same class as me at Leigh Street Secondary School. Several other names I remember as being in the same year. I will try to get a photo of myself St George's Primary School put on shortly. Thanks for the memories.
Esme Thomas also went to Greenfield Street Primary School when I was there. She lived somewhere near Helen Street.
Both Russell Cooper and Geoffrey Haywood are dead. Esme Thomas died in Chesterfield in the 1990's. Fred Durham was always known as Freddy Pye to me. I think Arthur Nash went to Australia.
Sadly, my brother-in-law, Bill Morris died about 30 years ago.
R.I.P. Bill xx
Russell Cooper died in 1979, aged 34.
I think the real name of the person on the photo named Kenneth Morehouse is really Kenneth Fieldhouse. He lived around the Cotton Street/George Street area, today he lives in one of the flats somewhere down Hoviley.
I never knew Tom Heaton had married Margaret Morris. Well you learn something new each day.
