Mary Street School Balsall Heath

I attended Mary Street School from 1941 till 1947, then left to go to Dennis Road School. The only two teachers I remember at Mary Street, a Miss Middleton and Miss Morgan, the head mistress was a lovey women but I just cannot think of her name, Oops forgot my photos.

This 1923 photo is of the girls section. When it opened it would have been a substantial school with junior and senior pupils. It seems to have lost its senior students in the re-organisation of the 1920s/30s. Here's an extract from the British History online site. Viv.
