Aston Hall Road School

Was that the corner shop on Montegue Street?

No, that was Mrs Harrison’s shop. Ours was painted red I think and was on the corner across the road from the school.

I remember Mrs Harrison's as we lived almost opposite. I don't remember going to yours though.

These are the only photos I have found. The first one is our shop in the process of being demolished

Thank you do much for these. It must have been sad to see it being demolished.

Yes, I knew it had been but I only saw the photo a short while ago and it did upset me. I believe the flats built there have also been demolished.

I think this aerial view from 1952 shows Aston Hall Road School, please correct me if I am wrong.

I went there 1967 - 1972 when it closed down. I'd love to see some old photos of my old school. My Class was the last to leave there and head for secondary school. It remained standing empty for a short while before they finally knocked it down in very late 1972 or early 1973.

I left in 1972 also and went on to secondary school.
