Hi, did anyone attend Pigott street school in the middle to late 50s.

Hi Stevehanson

Sorry but didn't attend Islington (Pigott Street) School and I know precious little about it, what I do have is an early photo of the school that you might have seen previously.

 

[Stevehanson]

Thanks for that, I have seen it before, it's a photo before my time. When I attended in the middle 50s that one had been demolished and a new one built, I think the school at that time was a grammar school. Cheers.

Here's another picture of the school, John.

Great photo John, we used to live at the bottom right corner, as a kid I used to drop off the high part of the wall into someone's garden. It was quite a fall for a young lad under nine years of age, what a memory, thanks. Ps I can still make out the little gate entrance near the bottom corner. At the back of the school was a little cobbled road called Cleve Terrace which ran from Owen street up to Bath Row almost opposite the hospital. Thanks great.

Hi, yes i attended Pigott street school from 1952/1958. I lived at 3/21 Pigott street with my mom dad and two brothers, Terry and John. I left school and went to St Thomas for a couple of months then our house was pulled down so we moved to Stirchley where I attended Wheelers Lane SMB.

When we first moved in, a boy that I befriended said to me "we new that a family from the slums was moving into our road" he was a boy who didn't know better, ended up we were friends for life and he was my best man. Happy days living in Town.
