Hello Mary, are you standing next to a tall chap? Think I have placed you. Yes you are right about Mr Francis, what did he teach? Funny seeing Mr McShane, he looks so much older on the photograph than what I remember.

May be wrong but the name Mr Francis seems to ring a bell for the RI Teacher.

Thank you Morturn, will follow the private message facility.

Yes I am Jeannette McDonald, forgot to say.

Hi Wendy, nice to have your reply. I do remember you and I remember you being Gill’s friend. Due to family circumstances I left school at 15 instead of taking the exams and staying on another year. It would be great to have a catch up with you (well a long catch up of 53 years:)), how can I...

I understand, good coincidence though!

I had a good friend in the seventies, she was a bit older than me. Her name was Ollie (Olive), she lived in Hall Green. She had an Austin Mini, think it was a pale yellow colour, the reg was SXC...., wonder if she is the same person as you knew, jmadone?

Hi Harry, Still looking through the photographs you posted. I am spotting more and more faces of people that I can now remember, it’s amazing. So long ago but so vivid. I can only name a few of the faces that I recognise, the photos are giving me a lot of pleasure.

Marks and Spencer sell them too, 4 in a box, £2 a box, yummy. It’s hard not to eat the full box in one go:).

I have had a great time looking through these 1965 school photos, still studying them. I am in the forth photo down, top row, 5th along from the right (looking moody:)), Lesley Randall is 3rd along from me to the right and Alan Glover is sitting in the 2nd row, 5th along from the right. I have...

Fabulous, these will keep me occupied for awhile. Must get my glasses on, can’t wait. Thank you Harry. .

Love the photo, looking forward to seeing the other part.

Where are you on the photo Wendy? I’ve had a few more views of it but can’t really see anyone’s face too clearly. I thought it was only me who had their hair permed and my sister, who was a couple of years in front of me! I was so happy to get to about 13 years of age, mom stopped insisting on...

I can’t see anyone who may resemble Alan Glover, he had fair hair with a red tinge. Perhaps he wasn’t at school when the photo was taken or my eyes are failing. So many people went off to Australia in the 60’s. Jenny

Clear photo of the wedding Jan. It was nice to put a face to Royston Lambert, I remembered him then. Jenny

Thanks Mary, your memory is good. I was pleased with myself for recognising Gill and John! Like you I moved around a fair bit so didn’t stay in touch with any of the class. I bumped into Alan Glover when I was about 20, we did a day trip to London together and met up a couple of other times but...

Hi Mary, Just been looking at the pic again - is that Gillian Brown on the left at the end, of the second row? Jenny

Nice surprise the school photo. I don’t have any photos of my time at Perry Beeches. I am sitting next to Mr. Newell and it was great to spot John Greaves sitting on the other side of him. I remember the person sitting next to me but can’t put a name to the face. I do remember the name of...

Clifford and I must have passed one another in the corridor on occasions then? Mr, McShane, always had a cigarette on the go, I can see him now sitting on the edge of his desk at the front of the class, blowing out the cigarette smoke. He could be quite brutal with his comments.

Hi Jan, Nice photo of you with your Gran and Clifford. Can’t say that I recognise Clifford, I think class 1A was Mr. Newell’s class, was Clifford in his class? So many years ago, parts of my time at Perry Beeches are quite vivid. I enjoyed the years I had there. Good buy the Morris, £4! Mind...
