Jean Taylor: The shop is Waydecore they also had the shop across the road. Audrey was the lady .the daughter was Aileen..... the two ladies the other side are crossing Jackson Street - that is a row of shops near Norland Road where i often went to Mr Lover groceries, Mr Peace green grocer ..Dollys dry cleaners. Halidays, Barbers Finnis veg & groceries.... it was also where you got off the bus

I think that there is a need to clarify the schools, particularly for the newer members, because I too, get a bit confused at times when we talk about Morley School.

The old Board School (St. Ann's Well Rd. Infants & Junior school), closed down in 1966 and then moved up to the Wells Rd Site, (Morley).
It became the St. Ann's Infant and Junior school (5-11yr. olds) the Senior children 11+ in 1966 then moved up to the new Elliott Durham School.
Some Teachers from the old Board School must also have transferred up to the new site....hence some "older" members remembering MISS BROWN from the old Board school, like me... and some the "younger" members remember her from the new St. Ann's Junior School, called again....Morley, or possibly both.....Hope it makes it a bit clearer.

WOW! What memories this pic evokes...Yes . Mr Salt, Miss Brown, 'Pop' Galloway...In my time (1950's) there was a school cup trophy for sports given each year, in a glass case on the wall. My brothers names (Albert & Patrick Wells) and mine were engraved on it...I wonder what happened to the cup? Sid Wells 19 February 2015

The room at the top of the stairs was the art room may have been used for other things at various times but I don't recall any other use other than for art (although we did once mix the jellies for the Christmas party up there)! Image provided by Patricia Ann Terrington

This must be pretty unique! Another one from the vaults of time. The caption to this picture states "St Anns Well Road Board School (House Football Team)" and is dated April 1934. My dad (George) is the one with the ball and he'd be 10y 4m old at that time. Looks like they're on The Forest Rec to me - what a motley crew! Anyone recognise their fathers/grandfathers?

Richard Greenhalgh‎: I remember sitting down for these Harvest Festival events At St Ann’s Board School They were always so well setup . Can’t remember any group photos. I found this one of my sisters class at the Festival. Sorry apart from my sister I cannot name anyone.

I find it quite difficult to remember some of the teachers, obviously Mr. Galloway & Miss. Brown I remember well, and Mr. Leishman certainly rings a bell...I remember the caretaker.....Mr. Carnelli.....does that count Miss?.............

Caretakers Mr and Mrs Carnelly at the seaside

MR & MRS CARNELLEY were CARETAKERS - their grand daughter Glenis joined our group

Headmaster

I remember Mr Salt very very clearly. Everyone was scared of getting the cane ( I know I was, and I was a goody goody - perhaps that's why!) Do you recall the huge hall (to my childish eyes) - classrooms off - the stage at the front... steps leading down off each side to the entrances. My first class after juniors was the one to the right of the stage, then later on Mr Clarke's class which was off on the right approaching the headmaster's room which was tucked in the corner.

Mr Peter Galloway
who fairly recently passed away
1925-2019
...my old teacher at
The Board School
from 1946 - 1952
......remembered my name straight away....sent his very best wishes to any one that might still remember him from his teaching days at school.

I lived at 76 Duncombe St. we had the school sign right outside our window- used to tie our skipping rope to go across the cobble road where all the kids off the street would play - 'all in together this fine weather, when I call your number you must run in '
We used to skip to the song "On the mountain stands a lady who she is i do not know.." Yes, there was always lots of kids in those days to play with,never a dull moment..

Do you remember going into the corner under the stairs to see the "Nit Nurse"? or to have your polio vaccination? I remember at the top of those stairs off the hall was where they kept the art equipment, easels and the like. Turn up late for school after a dentist appointment and see all the little crates of milk outside the classrooms and putting ou all the gym equipment which was kept under the stage...

I have a distant memory of the headmaster of the old Board School Mr. Salt calling us all in to the big hall one morning for a special assembly, along with all of the teachers, to announce " Children I have some very sad news to tell you... The King has died" and here we are 60 years later shortly to be celebrating the Diamond Anniversary of our Queen Elizabeth.......God Bless her... Marvellous..
In our years 63/66 the Head of the infant school was Mrs Hayes... and the head of Junior school Mr. Pearse....
I remember Mr Salt + Mrs Hayes - Miss Brown was also a legend at Jnr School
Not forgetting Mr. Peter Galloway...what a great swimming teacher, he is still well and very active.
A gold star for Miss Brown "the perfect teacher"
anyone remember Mr Bond?

I remember the Nit Nurse too .... she had a pink and light blue comb that she dipped in a glass with disinfectant, must have been "Dettol"
and blue painted heads..... or was that the ringworm treatment....
they used to shave the kids heads who had nits and then paint them - how appalling was that!

the zebra crossing....I remember, across from Extons over to Dunocmbe St. and the school.

The Old Board School....St. Ann's Well Rd. Infant & Junior School on the corner of Duncombe St
Remember lovely chant songs at school, "The big ship sailed on the ally-ally-oh "... just to mention one ...
I totally remember Miss Bloor

I was in that same assembly when the announcement came about the King dying. ..... And then there was the coronation when we all got a commemorative mug.

Mum sent this photo too. PE in the hall at Board School, maybe 1952, not sure of year. I'm sorry for putting these photos here but I thought it would give ppl more of a chance to recognise themselves or family and friends xx Tina Hall

Upstairs art class st Anns school — with Lyndsey Pritchard, Jim Greensmith, john wollach and Kevin Wagstaff

My very first school, outside toilets, freezing play ground, huge tall ceilings, black boards that had big wheels and rolled. Big beautiful colorful pictures of plants and flowers to learn off the board and Christian stories long gone. Christmas Party in the big Hall. Then after two years off up to Morley 1965-67. London Zoo trip missed I had Chicken Pox.

Clean Towel, bathers or swimming costume and a clean handkerchief.... walking down St. Ann's Well Rd hand in hand.....bring back any memories???? Swimmingly Yours... Tony

Main hall St Ann’s Board School

The room at the top of the stairs was the art room -may have been used for other things at various times but I don't recall any other use other than for art (although we did once mix the jellies for the Christmas party up there)! Image provided by Patricia Ann Terrington

How festive it looked and how spacious it was, I remember "exploring " below stage" old comics, once used for wet day reading for and dust, light entering thhough the access doors until mates closed them, The school badge shield was above the clock a blue background separated by a yellow/gold chevron like an arrowhead below the chevron a crescent moon to either side of the upper side of the chevron a star placed either side, I recall the reasons for the motto Aim Higher being given in an assembly that, we aim for the moon but can reach the stars. Image provided by: BerylRoyMorris

Miss Brown's room was on the left hand side next to the staff room. Anyone else ever do staff room duties? I was a monitor at one time - that was where I first came across real coffee - coffee grounds in the pots when we did the dishes...

Christmas Party at the school. Nativity Play. Jellies made at home and taken to the party. Potted beef sandwiches. The Art Room. The Library

The 6th BB also used the hall for Badminton if I recall on a Saturday evening, we would pop across to the beer off for bottles of pop at the bottom of Bombay Street, (Mick Teather was a mean player) and shuttlecocks did get lost on the aerial walkways also Gymnastic,queues forming to do flying angels into the secure hands of those willing volunteer instructors, to whom a vote of thanks may be long overdue..

Evokes lots of good memories ...can you remember the large hymn sheets up on the wall that we used to sing from in assembly? I can remember seeing my very first opera from this stage ...the trestle tables and benches put up for the dinner times ...Those big coarse p.e. mats always kept at the bottom of the hall...then the annual summer/fete stalls ...
I'd forgotten about the tables set up for dinner time- but remember and loved the annual fete. The stall I loved most was one that sold little paper and card houses covered with cotton wool snow and silver glitter....I hung my nose over those little houses every year but never got one!! Also remember the Christmas party set up in the Hall- we had to take our own cutlery complete with names tags cellotaped on!
I went to Board school from 1939 but can't remember the raised stage with the stairs, they must have been added later.
The stage is at the bottom of the picture looking towards the stairs ...as I recall the stairs led up to the library ...I think?? There was definitely a room you entered at the top of the stairs..but we also had our classroom photos taken up there too.
That’s right -the stage isn't shown on this photo - I think it was raised a little and did have steps leading up to it either side- The room at the top of the stairs was the art room -may have been used for other things at various times but I don’t recall any other use than for art (although we did once mix the jellies for the Christmas party up there)!
The room I'm thinking of must have been the stock room for the art stuff as I can clearly recall a door leading off that but it was just sectioned off as there wasn't a ceiling to the room.
- There was partitioning up there in the 60's guess they needed extra storage! Was Miss Brown’s class directly at the bottom of those stairs?
Brown’s class was at the foot of those stairs ...
Looking down the Big Hall from the stage to the newish mezzanine floor. We used to call it the Art Room...used the hall lots of times after leaving the Board School with Boy's Brigade, the badminton court as marked out was one of the high lights of the week on a Saturday Night....I recall, and drill practice on a Wednesday night. The building was well used as a social venue as well as a bustling school during the day. Happy times....great picture.
Great sat night badminton. My mam used to make tea for us. Roy
She sure did Roy "Sugar Midge? Two spoons please Mrs. Morris....thank you" then the long wait until you were back on the Centre Court....Happy Day's
This was before the store rooms were built, I can remember lining up for jabs and the school club up being there were darts were played, giving darts to a kid from St Anns, The meals serving hatches at the end, Class I with Miss Brown on the right behind the stairs on the left a cloakroom with the school and Mr Salt's office, teachers cars parked on Duncombe Street and Mr Dikeman’s motorcycle parked at the bottom of the front stairs, the sound of children leaving school to the words of Build a bonfire.
remember climbing those stairs to see the school Doctor, the Teachers I remember were, Mr Walton ...Mr Gibby....Mr Hamlin ...Mr Dickman.....Miss Smith ...Miss Roberts....Miss Brown....Mrs Dickman......Miss Wilkinson... Mr Salt Headmaster ....Mrs Hayse Headmistress.....Mr and Mrs Carnelly Caretakers.....Miss Frances the dinner lady ....other names fail me but I can see their faces as plain as yesterday ...and all my lovely school pals OH HAPPY DAYS.
I remember Mr Salt Mrs Hayes Miss Brown and Wilkinson ah
One day whilst walking backwards down the hall talking, the gym equipment hatch had been left open, I had to be the one to fall down below the wooden floor, popped my head up, with a very red face, checked to make sure I hadn’t been seen the gym mats were just stacked high enough for me to jump bounce out, did you see me?
Didn’t see it but can imagine dragging the mats arms fully stretched because they were awkward to carry. Oblivious of impending disaster and embarrassment
I seem to recall Miss Brown’s class being on the right with the door behind the stairs I think. Mr Salt's office was off to the left. The stairs to either side of the stage went up to the playgrounds, girls to the left of the stage and boys to the right.
Remember it well, I seem to remember a teacher called Miss Tuck. Learnt to play Badminton in the hall around 1955/56
Mr Fawcett is another name I remember
Can anyone remember going back to board school at night for what was called playcenter- lasted about an hour and we were given board games to play etc?
Sorry no I can't. I left in 1952 perhaps it was after my time. I went back later in the evening for the good old Boy's Brigade..... Never got bored with our games.....did we?
Didn’t have Boys Brigade there in my day it was cubs and scouts the BB was at the bottom of Ransom Rd, also Northampton St and the Chapel on the Chase- bottom of Northville Street.
I went back at night to do boxing
That’s right 6th comp. BB HQ Memorial Hall bottom of Ransome Rd. We went to Board School for Drill, Badminton, etc. it was a well-used building.
Yes I can recall Playcentre evenings - we even had a disco of sorts - can remember dancing to Nancy Sinatra singing "These Boots Are Made For Walking" ...lol !!!!
I loved play centre. It was always good fun, lots of games
Went to play centre too- good nights there xxx

BOARD SCHOOL MEMORIES

Gina Pennacchia
Mrs Nellie Hayes - probably the best head-teacher this world has ever seen. I attended the St Ann’s Infant school and she was the role model and disciplinarian to all she taught. many a child from St Anns owes a great deal of thanks to.
Tony Miller
My memories of Miss Brown were her working along side Mr. Galloway learning us all to swim on dry land before got any were near the Victoria Baths....one girl I particularly remember was Eleanor Naylor, she was a fab swimmer...and I think that Miss Brown developed and trained her on the back stroke and she eventually went on to swim for the county. She was indeed highly motivational....in a very nice personal way. She also taught us how to do Scottish Dancing over crossed swords, as boys we thaughr here we go...dancing... a bit sissyish....but she made it fun...and enjoyable...." Children lift your heads up and point your toes
Jane Diggle
I too was in Miss Browns class. I remember having to listen to the radio and then writing about what we heard, if I remember right she also taught morris dancing.
Gina Pennacchia
Ruled the class with a firm hand, she was kind respectful, generous, talked to us about nature, birds, brought apples to school for us from her own apple trees, and that was a nice treat and thoughtful of her. She explained how she would put them away in tissue paper so that they would keep throughout winter; taught us embroidery, we once baked cheese fingers, made with English Cheddar cheese.... I still have the needle purse made way back then in her class....
Gina Pennacchia
Unfortunately I have just a vague memory of Mr. Salt, Mrs Hayes was in charge of us at St Anns Board School she was so kind and unique and remembered all of our names ....
Angie Miles
Loved Mr Salt, Mr Galloway and dear Miss Brown. I have blessed school memories, always happy, can’t really remember any trouble as such. Did Miss Brown have a sister who was also a teacher, but not at the Board School? I can remember the radio lesson, think it was How Things Began. Also what about the Children’s Newspaper, which Miss Brown was very fond of. Remember entering a handwriting competition. I came second, Pat Sharpe came first, funny what you can remember isn’t it. What about the ‘strap cupboard’ just behind the door in Mr Salt’s office. Holy Moses!
Carol Bingham
Miss Brown taught my neighbour at board school and she will be 80 years old this month and she said Miss Brown threw her in the swimming pool and that frightened her so much she has never learned to swim
Gina Pennacchia
Mrs-Wilkinson was my very first teacher at the Board School too :-)
Tony Miller
Miss Brown and Mr Galloway taught me to swim along with probably 100's of other children at Board School, I was there 1946-52 great swimming teachers......still see Mr. Galloway.... and I bet he can still swim a length or two..
Vicki Wood
I was in Miss Brown's class at Morley my last year before Elliott Durham, 1970/71. I think it was Miss Browns last year of teaching before retirement. Polished brown leather lace shoes, no stockings, bare legs cotton dresses and short bod gray hair very tall. On sewing afternoons she would talk about her sister, how she would make and sew expensive doll costumes for history museums.
