I used to know a girl from that village, whom I met in Widnes many years ago, about 1957.

Just would like to know how she is now
Memories of Cheshire
Marton Boarding School
I attended the boarding school near Whitegate between 1965 and 1970. Each Sunday we walked the 3 miles or so to the church and back. I remember the dancing on the lawn in front of the church in May. I remember Whitegate as a smashing village and some 44 years later it still sometimes comes into my mind. As a young lad from Northumberland at the age of 11 I was frightened and homesick, played a lot of cricket and football and got into trouble from time to time. Thanks Whitegate, you are a good memory
Marton Residential Boardiong School
I was a pupil at Marton from 1965 to 1967 and have many memories and some pictures. I was in Stevenson House, run by Truck Taylor and the Grey House, run by Billy Doyle. We were always under control so visits to the town were always to church. I'd like to know whatever became of the school, is it a housing development now?
Marton Camp Boading School
I went there in the late 1950s and was there for about 18 months. I can't remember much about the school or my friends, but if you have any photos I would be glad to see them. You can e-mail me at: bobby-green@live.co.uk. Looking forward to seeing them.
Marton Boarding School
I went to Marton Boarding School from 1965. I have often given it a thought over the years. Yesterday I was in mid Wales and came back along that way. I decided to go and have a look. I went to Whitegate Church where we worshipped every Sunday. I went to the site of the school, it is now called The Paddock with very expensive and exclusive housing all in excess of a million pounds. A local told me Dean Saunders the footballer (or is it ex-footballer?) lives there. Thanks for the memories, Marton - you sorted me out!
Yesterday
Hi, is anyone still remembering 1955, when the world was young?! I was at Marton from 1955 to 1957, in Delaval House. They were great days I won't ever forget. I still see a pal from school, Gordon Irwin, Stephenson House, also Joe Hume lives nearby in Stakeford...
