I remember a lot of these lads but names are forgotten. Peter Airey sounded familiar. Did he run a bread round 1959/1960. He introduced me to his boss but declined the job. Would like to hear from anyone in this photo.

I attended Gidlow Girls’ Secondary Modern School from approximately 1959-1963 but I cannot fine anything at all about the girls school only boys? Can anyone help as I don’t know where to look. I was in class 1a - class 4a. My last form mistress for the last 2 years was Miss Dickson and Head Mistress was Mrs Lowe. I was headed choir too. Belovely if anyone could help. Thank you
