In fact I only seem to remember Paul Gittens, Tony Culshaw, Mark Hamson, Paul Mears, Neil Higham, Stuart Shelmadene, Anthony Gallagher, Mark Kearsley, Eva Tang, Charlotte Alcock and Andy Dunn.

Hi David, I do remember your name now, you had an older brother who's name I cant remember, he had ginger hair, right??. I do remember another person on the photo, the lad on the back row far left is "Nigel? Ormesher". The photo was sent in by Colin Bamber's mum, Florrie. And I just couldn't remember Mark H surname, Hampson,yes I remember now. I think this photo was taken around 1981/2 and not 79 as Florrie says. Take it easy David, Nice to hear from you.

What a shock to see all these faces - I was one of your teachers way back then! My husband found these photos and just HAD to show me them! It was a pleasure to teach you all, honestly!!!! Hope you're all well? I've retired early and enjoying a different style of life - doing what I want to do without any stress!

FAO Mrs Davies. Hi, do you remember the art competition at Drum Croon? I was in your class at the time. I remember you picked the kids for it in assembley. Hope life is treating you well! do you still have the polo mints handy? ;0)
Chris.

FAO Chris Dunn. Hi, Chris! No, no polo mint bribes needed these days!!! Unfortunately the years haven't always been too kind to me and mine but we're still here to tell the tale! One thing NO-ONE can take away from me are the memories of all of you - all characters in your own way! Unfortunately though you'd probably NOT recognise me in the street BUT this IS A LOVELY WAY TO SAY HELLO!!!!!!!!

Well what a bunch of ugly lookin sod's LOL. All my old school buddies, eh. But why am I not on it?, must of been poorly that day. Still well gutted I had to do class 8 twice! I'm gunna see if I can find some classics and upload them. Hope that you are all well,
Glenn.

3rd row - second from left is Richard Porter and fourth is Jill Hooson. 1st row - second from right is called Tony (will remember his surname soon!). I remember Miss Davies, think she taught me is Class 5. She had curly hair and was a nice teacher. A few of these people were in my class later on (they mixed people around for some reason?!)

Told you I'd remember his surname - Tony Alker! He was supposed to come to Byrchall with a few of us but moved to St Helens instead. I remember you Glen Jones, think you were one of the Byrchall gang too!

Someone mentioned Melvyn Furlong - did he play the Cowardly Lion in our Wizard of Oz play? Would love to see some photos of that - I was a munchkin (along with Tony Culshaw & Anthony Gallagher I think!). I used to love the school plays - I wish I still had my 'Jesus Folk' t-shirt, it would be so retro now!

Tony Friar - not Alker (doh!). There was someone called Alker, think his first name may have been Steven.

look at me bottom row 3rd from left haha

Alison. In my first comment, you will see that its "Tony Culshaw" not Friar. ;0)

Sorry Alison. Tony Culshaw is second from the left front row, he is not the lad second right as I stated. oops. :0)

Hey Alison, I remeber you un'all, I hope life is treating you well. Yeah I did go to Byrchall.

This pic is a blast from the past...I hope everyone is doing well

Hi everyone this seems to be different age groups
from individual classes. If anyone reads these
comments and remembers me, comment,

T'oreet Snitch, me owd buddy?

Goodness me. I remember most of you lot from Low Hall Nursery. I bet you won't remember me from all those years ago. Tony Culshaw used to love to pinch the skin off my milky coffee. I was probably Miss Williamson when you were in the Nursery, I got married in 1983. I had to retire from teaching in 2001, because I was ill. I have some lovely and funny memories of Low Hall Nursery, it was a very special place.

I think most will remember you Anne, you and "Julie"
I was gutted when I found out the school had been demolished, I would have loved to have had a look around before it dissapeared.

I remember most of all in the foto. Should do my little brother is in it. Lol

These pictures send me back, I’ve seen myself in the wheel barrow race with Leon Gittings and our Gary with mark kearsley , priceless
