Cheshire / Re: Calling all Wythenshawe folk

I shown this my cousin (*) and she said she knew that teacher, Mr McDonald.
He was her form teacher, at first she thought she was in the photo but in 1960 she would have been too young, but there is a girl who looks a lot like her in the picture.

Do you remember any of the Corrigans who went to that school?

@ Mike48,

Hello Mike,

Forgive me but I don't recall your name, but I have a few cousins who lived in Westage Gardens and I asked them if they might have known you as they lived near to you plus they also went to the same schools as yourself.
Do you know a family called Corrigan, they lived in the end avenue of Westage?

Also they asked me to ask you if you remember the Conlans who lived on Altrincham Rd near the Royal Oak pub.

Now a coincidence, my cousin emigrated to Australia 1974 and moved to Perth in 1976, isn't it a small world sometimes.

As for me, I went to Royal Oak School then Baguley Hall, I was born in Maldon Grove off Royal Oak rd, then we lived in Pentwyn Grove and also Rawlpool Gardens.  In my teens I was a rocker, leather jackets and motorbikes plus I had a German Shepherd dog that was nearly always with me, does that ring any bells with you?

Another question:  Are you on Facebook, I had a look and found a guy with the same name as you who lives in Perth, it might not be you but the guy I was looking at on FB didn't look familiar but sometimes people change so again forgive me for not recognising you?

I'm not sure it might be, I'll try and check it out for you but it might be a day or two, there are a few old cottages around there but the prison does sound more feasable.
I lived on Altrincham Road in Styal for a short time, (The Old Cottage) was built in or around 1760 but refurbished in 1930's, it was very cold, it had oak beams in the ceiling 2 living rooms small kitchen and 3 bedrooms though one was very small and a bathroom plus a large garden with an orchard.

Cheshire / Re: worsnup - does anyone have a connection

Forgive my interuption, just out of interest there was a shop in Northenden, Manchester on Church Road that was Worsnops, my auntie used to work there many years ago, the shop has long since gone now though.

Interesting, Chorlton is a fair way from Styal.  Styal is situated south of Manchester Airport, a nice little village, the local pub is the Ship Inn, there is a village shop/post office too, plus Styal School where my daughter went.
There are some cottages close to the school that are owned by the National Trust, nice country walks in the woods leading to the river Bollin, well worth visit.
