I do not have any photographs from between 1945 and 1957, there must have been some, but where these have gone I have no idea.

So this page just consists of the schools and the people, and memories I recall from my time at these schools.

Headmaster - Leonard Cookson.
Teachers - Mr Gwilt, English & PE. Mr Gwilt took some of the boys in the last year on hiking holidays for a week using the HYA for the accommodation.

Miss Robinson can’t remember what she taught, just that she had terrible BO and everyone else suffered with it.

Pupils - Christine Turner, Jacqueline Horsefield, Douglas Knott, Tom Bates. Irene Carroll.

Headmaster - Tom Swain.
Teachers - Mrs Robinson

Pupils - Joyce Woodall, Glynn Cowan,

I passed the entrance exam for Stockport Technical School but I didn’t really want to go, I managed to attend St George’s for a week before I was found out and escorted to the new school the same morning.

Headmaster - Roger Whitehouse. Teachers - Mr & Mrs Starky. Taffy Roberts. Alf the Rear Gunner, Joe Egg.

Pupils - Bob Hotchin. Tony Dove. Tony Perkins. Richard Greenwood.

Memories - Rude ditty wrote about Mr Starky on classroom ceiling.

Taffy Robert’s back bumper on his car torn off, when it was tied to a tree. The tree was supposed to be torn out of the ground and dragged along the roads, it turned out to be stronger than the bumper.

Alf the Rear Gunner - You could smoke in his class as long as he smoked yours and not his own.

Joe Egg taught Tech Drawing, and played Classical Music during the lessons attempting to educate us philistines - unfortunately Elvis had just hit the headlines so he was on a loser with his classical music.

An Escape Artiste doing a demo show one lunchtime { 12.00 to 1.00 } at the Theatre Royal, St Peter’s Sq -

Nearly all the school turned out to watch - but it was delayed due to high winds { he was to set himself alight in a straitjacket suspended from a flagpole on the roof of the theatre } by 2.00 pm Prefects were running back and to from the school with instructions for us all to return to school - some did - at 3.00 pm the message came anyone not returning immediately would be in detention -

He eventually performed his act at about 3.45 which we watched, and then all that had stayed went straight home - to be sentenced the following day to 5 evenings detention for everyone.
