Hi. I lived on Hanley Street between '62 and '69, and I have vague memories of having "Sunday school" in the street every week(i think). Somebody with a van or a wagon came and put benches out and most of the kids would come and listen. I think we got little "gifts" too, religion themed...

Yes.... very nice job.

OK..... I talked to my friend and he remembered EVERYTHING! It was the 89th company, and meetings were at Brackenbury Church, until it closed then we moved to Warren Farm School. (I got one thing right!) lol. Captain's name was Mike Booten (sp) I've got more names if anybody is interested. Mark...

What year was this picture of Hanley Street taken? I lived there from '62 to '69. Horrible conditions, but some great memories. Great pictures, Mark

Anybody remember any pupils names from when they were at St. Chad's? I was there from 63-69. A couple of names I recall are Derek Duffy, and Patrick Carter. Patrick was a really good artist, as I recall, he used to draw all the Thunderbirds. (Remember them?) I remember we used to play "James...

Hi Richard. I think we chatted on here before. Don't you have a sister named Pauline? I think I went to school with her at St. Chad's.

Hi. No, sorry, no brother named Sammy, or cousins Sandra and Colin, though I did go to school (St Chad's) with a Sandra Gaskin, but we were not related, as far as we knew. My Dad was from Ireland. Mark.

Hi all. I went to St. Chads also, but a little later than you. I went to the one on Brearly St first, (junior and infants) and then moved to the one behind the Cathedral. Can't remember the exact years, but it was the middle to late 60's. We lived on Hanley St. at the time, and moved to Perry...
