Roscommon St School and St. Peters, Sackville St, Everton area.

[John Ambrose]

I've just come across YoLiverpool and saw this thread so registered so I can upload these pictures.
We lived in 41 Back Roscommon Street, three doors down from St Peter's. I was born in 1954, my brother Alan in 1956 and we left in 1966 to go to Cantril Farm. I'd already moved to the John Hamilton High in 1965 and continued there until 1972.

These family snapshots give a hint as to how small and dark our street was, in the shadow of Rossy School. Chas, is that the "stable" at the back of your house, next to Rossie playground?

There's the only class photo I have, taken in Miss Mather's around 1959. Either the photographer didn't have a wide angle lens or the photo has been trimmed as so many children are cut out of it. I'd be made up to see a larger version if one exists.

Anyway, I hope these photos are of interest.

Great website; all the hardwork and time spent running it is appreciated.
