Walked down there many times between 1959 to 1963 Remember Mr Topping Woodwork teacher.

we remember it well!!!!!

I last saw Mr Topping 1985/86 at the opening of Comet youth club and he hadn't changed much,remember Messrs Price,Sharrock,Ward,Holland,Brown,Thomas,Radford,Moran,Barron,Brotherton and Mrs Gill also Mr Lester

This was a fine fine school, my teachers were, Dr Jarrett, miss Lawton, Mrs French, Mrs Mullalley, Mr Moran, Mr Kaaria,Mr Sweeney(and his pipe), Miss Roscoe, Mr Woods, Mr Bradshaw, Miss Dixon.

I remember going in the front if you were bad !!r

Very handy for me as the main entrance was opposite our house.

lived at 10 Buckley St West. Basically just down the road.

I went to Gidlow Middle from 1979 -1981 it was the best school I went to the only school experience I enjoyed so sad it's gone those pictures bring back great memories .

First school I taught at after qualifying, and one of the best!…First year 1973, class called File( a fish!)... Parked my Honda 50 cc by front door.

Ah Mr Carey taught the first years the class was called Fox. I was next door in Farndale with Mrs Scott in 74. Remember most of the teachers Sasha mentioned along with Mrs Davison, Miss Seed (married Bill Beaumont...) Mrs Walters. Mr Green Miss Gill Miss Caldow, later married Mr Karria and the head teacher Robert Jackson . Always remember Mr Jackson had a phobia to anyone booing......

I went to Gidlow Middle from 1978 to 1980.
I remember some teachers, Mr Sharrock (taught me Geography I believe) and Miss Dixon, who was my form teacher (class was named after Fairfield Fell - which we even went on a school excursion to visit up in the Lake District!).
I also remember Miss Seed (French teacher), and wife of Billy Beaumont. She always scolded me that I was lazy an would "never learn any language". I have lived in Spain for 30 years and am a fluent Spanish speaker. I remember her as being quite lovely and soft spoken.

Happy days!
