St. Joseph's Home, holidays A memory of Freshfield, Merseyside The children of St. Joseph's Patricroft, Eccles, spent their summer holidays at Freshfield. The girls would stay at "Vaughan House" on Victoria Rd the boys at a priest training college nearby. When the weather was suitable we would walk down to the beach passing by the pine tree woods. At the weekend the older girls were allowed to attend a dance in a local hall in Formby. I did not know at the time that my father had been born at a big house called "Lawnswood" next to Vaughan House in Victoria Rd. The house has since been demolished and replaced with apartments. My father's brother born 1901 was born in Freshfield Rd, the house was called "San Antonio" with no house No stated I have not been able to trace it, the title I take it would have changed over the years. My grandfather Wharton Rye Collinge died in WW1 and is listed on the Formby war memorial. These facts I discovered four years ago, having never knowing my father.

Year: 1961
Our Lady's, Church Road A memory of Formby, Merseyside I attended Our Lady's School but at a later time than Mr Aindow. I started in September 1961, a day I remember quite well! My most abiding memories of those times were of the nuns who ran the school and who were very strict and also how antiquated it was. The school still had gas lights which were lit on dark winter afternoons and emitted an eerie green glow. The refectory was like something out of Tom Brown's schooldays with long wooden tables and benches. The outside loos were something to behold as well! We used to be taken to benediction once a week at the church, which was next door and had to sing in Latin. The kids these days don't know how easy they have it!

Our Lady`s(Church Road)boys side!Formby.Knocked down many years ago A memory of Formby, Merseyside Hello friends! I am very interested to find out as much as I can about the former Our Lady's school which used to be on Church Road in Formby. I'm interested more about the boys side as apparently boys and girls were seperated then. My Father went to that school (not sure on the year?) and he has no memory keepsake whatsoever! So for Fathers Day I would love to change that with a nice surprise. Some information will be lovely and if any photos are available or you know the whereabouts of any that would be wonderful, many,many thanks! My Father's name is Noel Aindow and he'll be 67 in Dec if any old classmates are out there. Patricia. Last edited: 25/04/2007 10:56 by Patricia Aindow |

 Formby, Holmwood School c1960 (ref: F106036) |
Year: 1968
Holmwood School Pupil. A memory of Formby, Merseyside I have many memories of my time at Holmwood School. I joined as a day boy in 1968, when the Headmaster was David Glass and I left around 1973 when the Headmaster was Johnny Clegg. I remember the trips we had in the old school bus to Formby sands and Freshfield woods to see the red squirrels. My days at Holmwood were happy times in the late 60's, with friends and teachers that are now all but distant memories. Holmwood was a relatively small community by today's standards, but the lessons I learnt then as a small boy have stood the test of time. It was a sad day when Holmwood ceased to be a seat of learning. Last edited: 17/10/2006 23:09 by Alan Browning |

Year: 1960
Boyhood days A memory of Southport, Merseyside My dad Leslie had the Talbot Hotel in Portland St from 1955 to 1964, and I went to Sefton St School and then to Bickerton House School in York Rd. I can remember going to Miss Walshe's riding school in Aughton Road where the famous Ginger Mcain of Red Rum used to drive her taxis. The summers always burnt the grass off and there was always snow in winter. As a keen bird watcher my pal Zbignew, a Polish boy would go to the Marine Lake or Hesketh Park to see what we could find, what a time of boyhood, oh how I would love to do it all over again ...
