Hiya Mandy ,
God i was leaving secondary school as you where starting Tiber , lol
I loved the school though i'll always remember a Miss Stirk who played the guitar . & those big sliding doors connecting the classrooms ,We only lived a few doors away from the school , thought Tiber was a brilliant community ,
Are there any classmates out there that went to Stockbridge Lane School. I was there for a short spell in 1962. I had my sister Barbara at the same school and a friend who,s name I can,t recall at the moment, I can recall my sister,s name of course. :disgust:
My first job from school was a television and electrical shop in Edge Lane. I would take the shutters down, yes even in 1967, clean the doorway and open up for business. I worked 6 and a half days a week including Saturdays, my favourite day when I,d be watching Doctor Who before I closed up shop to walk home to Desmond Street, off Breck Rd and Heyworth St. I got five pounds commission once for my part in selling a radiogramme. My part was locking the door until the customer bought the set:rolleyes:
Does anybody remember the time when there was a mass phenomenon about aliens landing in Wavertree I think it was. there was a rumour going around many schools at the time that a vehicle had landed and that aliens had taken over a derelict house. It was in the local papers at the time. I went along one night for a look see and was convinced that I saw it, them, looking out from an upstairs window. There were hundreds of us schoolies around peering over at the house. What a buzz that was at the time:shock: :ninja: :ninja: :shock:
You,ll be miffed at seeing my fizzocg here three times in a row. But it,s all about community.:hug:
Hi Chippie,
I hope you can remember your sisters name, :eek: :eek:
You have just had me in bulk laughing at your next to last post,:)
Jacky :PDT11
Hello Lady, I was in bulk writing it and watching other people logging on:)
I must be bored staying on for so long, mind you I haven,t taken my medication for awhile:shock: Have a good laugh lady, it clears yer chuckle muscle:rolleyes:
Hi folks
I went to Quarry Bank High School (now part of Calderstones Comprehensive) in 1965-1967. The following pen and ink drawing with was done by me while in art class at the school. A pic I took more recently of the gateposts of Strawberry Fields is stuck in the right lower corner of the frame. I had previously posted this photograph in a Beatles thread but thought to post it here now.
While I went to the school, the headmaster was Mr W. E. Pobjoy who had been head while John Lennon went to the school in the Fifties (as most of you will know, the Beatles were originally called "The Quarrymen" and the group at that time contained John's mate Pete Shotton and other pals, before Paul and the others joined up). Mr Pobjoy was an unusual head for his day in opposing corporal punishment.

Hiya
Webster Road till 1964 then Brookfield Comp in Kirkby till 1969
Very fond memorys of Webster Rd with Mr.Bradley class teacher on 2 occasions.
One day a week going on the corpy bus to Calderstones Park for our afternoon sports.
Also remember the swimming pool getting built in the basement.
Sign of getting old this is, have to keep popping the pills.
I only went to Webster Rd School for about a year when I was 5 so I can,t remember much about it
I went & had a look today but it has been knocked down:PDT_Xtremez_12:
Mandy :)
Yep Webster Road was knocked down about 5 years ago or a bit less.
My daughter went there for a short time.
I have seen such a change the area since I lived there.
My old school. It's had so many names; I think it was originally called 'Anfield Girls school', then in later years, when my mum went there, the name was changed to 'Stanley park secondary school ' it was an all girls school but at some point they moved the boys in.
In the 1960s the boys were moved out and into a new building in Breckside Park. The boys school was Anfield Comprehensive'.
When I went to seniors it was girls only and called 'Stanley park Comprehensive'
After I'd left it was changed to 'Anfield Comp', then yet again another change to 'Priory Community school' (or something like that). They had moved the boys back in by then. They had demolished the boys' comp - for what reason it was demolished I don't know 'cos it was a good building with good facilities and nothing wrong with it.
Why couldn't they just leave it alone as Stanley Park ?? (which it was known as for the longest).
That's not the end of it .. it is now known as the ' NORTH LIVERPOOL ACADEMY'
I'm sure there isn't another school with so many name changes.
Just joined the forum so not sure how things work.
I went to King David's as a infant and then to Dovedale CP throughout the juniors. Ended up at Hillfoot Hey - leaving in the summer of 1976.
My youngest son went to St Margaret's and one of his teachers had been my teacher in Dovedale. I only found this out when the teacher reocognised me 30 years later at a parent/teacher evening.
Hi and a warm welcome :PDT11. Take your time - I' sure it all looks like a minefield at the moment..

Yes, It should have been built ages ago but protesters have held up progress. In fact progress is the wrong word - it hasn't even begun. :disgust:
Breckfield (the old John Hamilton) have been moved into the Priory rd school; both schools have been merged to form North Liverpool Academy. They should have been in a brand new state of the art building .. but instead the pupils & techers are struggling along in an over crowded, decaying and ill equipped school :disgust:
I was talking to one of the teachers last week who told me that some science lessons are restricted because of lack of space and facilities.
The protesters are stopping our local kids from having a good education in a new school. :angry:
Banks Road. I remember my first day. The song 'Little White Dove' seemed to be playing??
Then St. Ambrose (Speke)
Cardinal Newman (By the Fiveways) Yeah.. I passed the 11 plus and got a bus pass!
Happy to say I live around the corner from Florence Melly School. The original school was knocked down about two years ago but was rebuilt with a more modern design the same year keeping its original nameQuote:

Did anyone out there go to Ranworth Square in Norris Green. I remember the year that it burned down, we could see it on fire from our bedroom window and i remember thinking great i wont have to go to school. I also went to Ellergreen Comp which i think was renamed Abbotsford Road.
