Was St Cuthbert's in Norley Hall in 1948? I only remember the schools on Ellsmere Road and Cuthbert St.

If this was Brindley St then the building in the background was the old school meals kitchen and dining hall where St Cuthberts kids went for their dinners.

there was no st cuthberts in norley hall in 1948. there was a wooden st cuthberts infant school near the Carnegie library in the 1940s- 1950s which burned down, the others were in Cuthbert st, brindley st and one at the bottom of broom rd worsley hall. I went to all of them.
