Corpus Christi School

A Memory of Oldham.

Yes two big girls showed me how to get to school and then able to accompany my sister Veronica walking past demolished rows of houses. We lived at 603 I thought, I recall the singing games in the school yard such The big ship sailed on the Ally Ally O, and games like British Bulldogs which Hendrick Sincovic always won. I recall walking home past the mill at bottom of Chamber Road and loved the pink Rosebay Willow Herb growing on the bank of the lodge. Some people bought penny specials from the chip shop and others bought Penny Arrow Bars.
