St Matthias 1902
Hi Lindev, I went to Burbury Street but I had friends who went to St Matthias; Duncan Bagley and Johnny Wells for example. I knew girls from Lozells Street; Barbara Clarke and Valerie Hale in particular. My parents went to St Matthias, below is a photograph from 1902. My Uncle Ran is holding the board and behind him is my Mom, sucking her thumb.
In the 70s I met a chap working in a second hand bookshop in Hay on Wye who had been a teacher there in the 30's but unfortunately I don't remeber his name
