Sandbach National school

Hi Peter
My mother also attended Bridge House School. She was probably there in 1934. The school was opposite St Mary's Church and adjacent to The Old Hall. Bridge Street is now High Street. The school  is now a private house. It was for sale earlier in the year (May). I don't know whether it was sold. If you pm me your mother's name I'll ask my mother if she knew her. If they were there at the same time they would have known each other. It was only a small school.

Hi tofgem,
There's interesting, thanks for that info about Sandbach Bridge House School.

In case anybody else is interested I have a school photo taken in 1934 and my mum has written all the names on the back - although I am not sure if I can exactly match all names to faces.

tofgem, I will send you a pm and we can swap names.

Hi Peter,
 

Re; 'These are the pupils on Sandbach Bridge House School Photo in 1934:'

My mother is on the list on the back of your photograph of Bridge House School. My brothers & I are arranging a surprise 90th Birthday party for her in 6 weeks & I am putting together a 'This is Your Life' for her. Is there any chance you could email me a copy of this photograph? It would be a wonderful surprise for her.

Many thanks,
Sue

Hi

I was bought up in Sandbach and my brother and my Uncle attended Sandbach Grammer School.  It is a very old school and the school dates back 400 years, not the building.  From what i remember i think the school started at the lower end of Middlewich Road near to the Methodist Church, i think it was the first school in the area. 

I would have to ask my mother for more details.  another idea you can try is contact ing the Sandbach History Society....which my  mum started....they shoudl be able to give you more details or someone to contact.  I think htey still meet monthly at the local Library.

Regards

Claire

Hope your surprise B'day goes well for your mother

Thanks Claire.

I'll do that. Presumably the Sandbach History Society will have pictures of Bridge House School as well. Thanks for the advice.

Hi SEWM,
If you pm me your email address I will send you a copy of the school photo.
I also have pics of the school from early 1900's and as it is now.

The headmistress was Mrs Harris and my mum has her autograph in her album.

Tell me your mum's name and I will see if it rings any bells.
