Title: Hipper Street School circa 1961
Post by: Gerty Gumdrop on March 01, 2014, 10:53:10 PM: Mods, If I've posted these pics before kick 'em off. I DID have a look to see if I could find them but nothing came up. Maybe I did it on the old forum.

Anyway, if anyone's interested, here's some pics from Hipper Street School circa 1961. I'm on them somewhere.
Just not saying where :-[

Going to have a guess anyway.
First and second picture middle 5th from left?
Couldn't even stab a guess at the last one

Had another look are you at the front 4th from left not counting teacher?

Post by: Nugget on April 07, 2014, 02:53:29 PM: I guess this is the School sports team. Margaret Freeman behind lower trophy, I recall the two either side but forget names. Also think bottom left is Lavinia Turner...plus the lads in the soccer pic

Navy Blue for PE - I hated those navy blue knickers we girls had to wear :-[

Post by: Gerty Gumdrop on April 07, 2014, 08:02:18 PM: Great pic Nugget :) What year is it from?

I see Mr Holmes as the teacher on the left. Don't recognise the other one.

Lavinia Turner's sister Mary was in my class. Mary is on the swimming team photo, back row first on the left.

I think the blond lad next to Norman Dolling is Keith Redfern

I (Kevin Buxton) am on the left of Norman (Boo-Boo) Dolling with the ball. John Orton is on may left. Chris Pates is holding the blackboard and his brother Martin is behind him on his right shoulder at the end of the row.
