Its a shame they have to pull schools down, even worse that they do nothing with the land.
I went to Upper Park Street in the Dingle as a kid and I always said that next time when I went back home I'd go back there and visit the place again, but I always put it off and then finally when I did go I found that they'd knocked it down just a few months before.Quote:

hi ged,
just got your 2nd book, where you mention your school,st.Greg's,and various teachers, specifically mr.Crowley, who's son i went to school with!Your image of him with the cane,and keys,in reception, was pretty terrifying, but he always seemed a nice enough guy, when i was at thier house, and i always thought it was amusing that his son couldn't tell the time:unibrow: i went to the youth club a couple of times,(about '67,'68) but dont remember anyone's names, except pat gandy, for some reason, and a guy who's nickname was"beaky"! One memory i do have, is of the the girls in the youth club screaming in horror, when Robin Gibb,of the Bee Gees, started singing "massachusets" on "Top of the Pops", every time it was on:eek: In the book, you mention that mr.Crowley had a brother/clone? Was this really his brother? I also remember the rover car well! Great book,must get volume 3.
steve.
Hiya wsteve55. Thanks for that. There was an Arthur Vincent Crowley and his younger bro. I only found out quite recently that Mr Crowley senior was apparently quite a rugby player in his day and played Rugby and won honours though i've not looked into it any further. His singing voice resounded all over the assembly hall - Christius Vinschit, Christius Renoit or something like that anyway - all latin to me.
One had a brown Rover, the other, the same model in white. They were alright really looking back, if you had little to do with them that is. I remember someone drawing mammary glands on the cover of my lyric book to Joseph & his technicolour dreamcoat which we were rehearsing and he spotted it. I got the cane for not snitching (it wasn't grassing then) on the little toerag that done it because I wouldn't snap my arrow bar in half. I later changed that porn into a face lol.
Where did they live, was it a leafy suburb, I always imagined so.
Thank you Drone Pilot for that. I forgot I was in the same class as Gerard and Ged. lol :hug:
Hi ged,
you're right about the leafy suburb, Crosby actually, where as far as i know, he still lives, though things may have changed, as it must be 8/9 yrs since i saw him, and his 74th birthday was coming up!?! His lad became a butcher!!:unibrow:
I went to Northway Primary/Juniors and Highfield Senior's or Broadgreen is it called now?
I Guess they were ok:PDT11
I went to Northway, however mine was in Maghull. Left Maghull at six and a half and followed my dads work round the country.
From leaving Maghull and turning seven, i was in my third different place in six months :shock:
Went to holy angels infant school kirby then to St Teresas near the strand in norris green from there went to st Teresa's in utting avenue,Sister Gabrial was head in junior school she was nice .
Miss ready maths teacher in senior school, also had many fun days at
Colomendy
I went to Banks Road in Garston and then on to Hillfoot Hey (Mr Dunn then Mr Pomfret were heads ) Great school now demolished unfortunately.
Ranworth county primary (Loved it):handclap:
Ellergreen comp (got to hate it):PDT10
St Christophers - Speke
Blessed John Almond - Garston.
All Hallows - Speke.

Only ones I can really remember from St John's is Mr Collinson ( Frolly) and the Infamous Sister Gertrude and Sister Anne..... Gertie was one of the most sadistic people I have had the misfortune to come across in my life. constantly walked around with a cane under her habit.
She could use the cane better than Zoro could use his sword.

Gertie - my mum would never believe what a monster she was until my sister started work, as a nursery nurse, at the kids home Gertie also ran. Tales of violent abuse were common.
How about Mr McGarvey (head - lovely man who saw good in everyone), Mr Galea (Maths - another sadistic *******), Miss Dunn (English), Mr Slattery )Science - hard but fair), Mrs Ahmed (Art - like a young Elisabeth Taylor).
Couple of people in my class who I remember and were from Garston. Michael Axworthy (great footballer - went to Man U then Everton but don't think he got past the youth teams), Michale Powney (another good footballer), Imelda Longhurst, Frances Fanning. Names beginning to fade now - boy I'm feeling old!
My mother worked in St. Johns for a short while,(10 years ago or more) she was shocked by the attitude of some of the staff and never liked it there. Mine you Notre ****(sic) in Everton was not much better!
Oh yes I remember Miss Ahmed:) andQuote:
