Our Lady's School

I remember Our Lady's School very well. My teacher was Miss Kinseller, there were 2 nuns, one being the head but I can't remember her name. I especially remember the outside toilets for the boys and the constant smell of disinfectant ... ummm.

Attendance at the church next door was constant, with confessions and benediction. I had a friend at school called James Kershaw - where are you now James?

In our frst year in infants our first school book was made of slate, there was no paper - does anybody remember that, and the gas lights in the hall? Also 'games' consisted of throwing bean bags around the playground - good old days, hey!
