Somewhat confused by this post. St George's School was on the corner of Plough and Harrow Road and Beaufort Rd in Edgbaston. A long way from Burberry St and Wheeler St,Hockley.
There are some excellent photos of St George's School on Mac Joseph's site,Old Ladywood.
I attended this school from about 1958 until early 1963 until I moved to Farm St School, Hockley.
Good luck in your search.

Hi Lyn, I had no idea that there was another school called St George's.
As the old saying goes "you learn something new every day"

Hi Lyn, can't think why I didn't know of St George's in Newtown. As a nipper living in Hockley we roamed far and wide in the local area. You would think a school with the same name as one I had attended would stick in the mind. Perhaps I did know at the the time but the woolly memory let me down!we never stop learning nodd...all of my children attended st georges newtown and mom and dad were married at the nearby st georges church in 1950..the church was demolished in 1960 but the graveyard still remains which includes the tomb of thomas rickman who designed the church also in the churchyard is a ww1 memorial with all the names of the local men who lost their lives...here endeth the first lesson

stef did your wife go to the old original st georges school ..reason i ask is because i dont know the year it was demolished and replaced by the new school which is still there
lyn
thought it was that one... as i said in an earlier post somewhere on the forum is just a little side shot of the old st georges. school ....from memory i think it could be on the great russell street thread as again from memory that is where the school was

Hi Lyn; think the new comprehensive school opened in 1968 (I started there 5 years later). Adjoining Infants and Junior Schools must have been there from earlier in the sixties as I started at the infants school in 1967.
