Hi Mike, I am sure * must be your sister?
I was in the same class as her at St Pauls school, Firbank Road 1958 to 1962.

Hi Mike, thanks for the quick reply. I did not know * had a brother also at St Pauls. You spend years at school with people and know so very little about them. I have a vague recollection that I did meet up with * some years after leaving school. There was a party at a friends house somewhere in Stretford. I am trying to dig out an old school photograph I think I still have. If I find it I will post on this site. Please send my reguards to *.

Hi Mike I found the last school photograph of our class taken at St Paul's about 1960?
I have several earlier (and better quality) but this is the only one with * on and * whom I think you mentioned earlier. I remembered the name of * friend in Stretford, it was *.
Hope the photo comes through OK.
regards Chris Bowden
( did I really look that weedy back in 1960?)

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?

Hi, the only Corrigan I remember at St Pauls 1958 to 1962 was the headmaster Mr Corrigan (we called him Sam...I dont know why).    Yes the teacher was Mr Mc Donald

Hi Vals**********,   There is a booklet on Wythenshawe, don't know by who but, it shows lots of pics prior to the land becoming the Wythenshawe estate, old maps in there too, I'm sure you will find the info if you ring Wythenshawe Library or Manchester central library.

In the science museum on Liverpool street in Manchester, they have films in there to watch, The Garden City, as it came about, not sure if you can get copies, you have to ask.

Hi Valsgranddaughter,

The Picture Booklet is:-  Looking Back At Wythenshawe, by Jean Greatorex & Sheila Clarke.

There are many pictures inside& a 1932 map on the inside back page, not sure how easy they are to get hold of but, a friend said there are a couple up for sale on ebay, well worth getting a copy.

Regards,

Spatts.
