Hi,
I was wondering about Charles Arthur Street, as I can't find it in a modern A-Z, is it called something different now?

The school disappeared along with the street.

One of the boys on the back row was Michael Cassidy. He is standing by the steps up into the boys playground. Mr Newman is the baldie in the centre. He was new to the school in September 1956.View attachment 115161 hi ivor i have this one but it was taken in 1959 by which time you had left st clems..

I loved the building. I actually drove down Long Acre yesterday and still think it was a gross error to wipe away two whole blocks of shops and houses and my lovely School and put a supermarket in place. I don't really miss Newton's factory although it is forever in my memory. Thanks for posting this brilliant photo.
Tony Underwood: I know your name but can't remember what you looked like. What year were you born? Did you know Margaret Lyons? She lived in one of the houses over the wall in High Park Street. She was born in 1944/5
Tony Underwood : inremember your name, too! I was born in 1945. What year were you born?to Tony Underwood : yes, Tony. I knew Margaret Lyons. She came to St Clement's when I started my last year as a junior in the September. She lived four doors away from the school on the Railway Terrace side. Mr Newman started at the school at the same time as Margaret. She was a big friend of mine.

Thanks, Lyn.
my daughter went to that school about 1963 her nam was Lynda Harrison
I remember Miss Jaques but I have always thought she was Indian. My younger sister, Linda loved Miss Jaques, but Miss Jaques was new to the school the year after I had gone into Class Two.good evening all
i am getting concerned i think i must have been the only one that went to st clements i was only there till about 1958 when we moved to kingshurst
but i have fond memories of the school and i would be interested in seeing any photos of the school from that time, the two teachers that stick in my mind are miss jaques a west indian teacher,and miss beecroft who tried to teach me arithmitic but to no avail, so come all you st clements scholars give some memories to an "old git" and make him happy!

me too i was in the infants there in1953.No. I was at the old school where the Chinese Supermarket now stands.
