Wigtownshire / Re: Penninghame Prison
« on: Wednesday 17 February 10 09:09 GMT (UK)  »
Good morning  - My mate's father was a warden there but he (father) has now moved on (RIP) and I often went to the prison and played table tennis in the main building and football in their pitch. I also remember going to the officers Club/pub which was in the grounds. I am looking for any photos about the prison, it's inmates, wardens and grounds to bring back memories.

That is what I need it fits my dates spot on. When I was five (56 years ago) I went to the Academy primary school I do not remember how long I attended but one day the class teacher left the class and two brother's (one now a prominent figure in  Stranraer) attacked me and smashed my hips, I ended up in hospital and had to learn how to walk again.

Because I had missed over a year of schooling, when I went back I found that I had been transferred to the Park school and was held back a year.

At the age of 13?? I went to my secondary school which was the Academy. The friendly banter is that I attended the Academy as a primary and secondary pupil. My sister in law maintains the Academy was just a junior (primary ) school

Thank you very much for your help I think your input has settled our argument unless someone else Knows any other information?

All the best.

Thank you for your help Monica - while it gave me a little information on the old building in Lewis Street/Academy Street it was more focused on the new buildings out the London Road.

But I thank you for your efforts to assist me.

I am 61 years of age and I would like someone to help with a fact.

When I was 5 years of age I went to Stranraer Academy which at that time was a primary school (now the Technical college) I then moved to Park School until I was 13/14 when I went to secondary school which was the Academy and what we called the annex which I believe is now the RC School(beside the Ryan centre) but was the High School.  My sister in law say the academy was never a secondary school and I disagree. Can anyone help solve this question.
