My memories are that of visiting a certain student teacher from St George's Road. Throwing pebbles up at the ladies' window one evening. Wine and cheese at the pub. Little old man at the roadside bench. The Last of the Summer Wine could well have been made in New Mills.

St George's School
Hi, Carol Jakes was soliciting memories from pupils of St George's School in the 50s. I was born in 1940 at Whitle Fold and attended Spring Bank Primary from 1945 to 1947(?) when I shifted to St George's. My memories of those years include sliding on ice slides in the play ground, frozen milk, Mr Neville slapping our legs for not lining up quickly, Mickey Jeffs' basin haircut and "Pingot Lill"'s boy Geoffrey(?) trashing the classroom because it was raining heavily and he wasn't allowed to go home to tend his pet goat!!
Around 1951 I scraped through the 11 plus exam and went to Grammar School (Grammar Grub) and that is another whole story, me being a rebel and heading into my Teddy Boy years.
Anyway, Carol or whoever reads this give me a 'mail and let's chew the fat.
Regards, Alan.
The Early Years!
Hi There
I originally lived in New Mills on the council estate on St George's Rd. I spent many years teaching and designing bridal & cruisewear. I have lived for many summers on Vancouver Island in Canada, and many winters in Colima, Mexico. Would like to hear from anyone who went to St George's Primary School in the 50's,& New Mills Grammar School 1958 - 65.
I hope life has been as good to you as it has to me. Cheers. Carol Y Jakes.
