Newton Grammar School

A Memory of Earlestown.

I went to NGS in 1939. It was a great school. Those school dinners cooked on site by Annie the cook and the smell coming up the corridor about 11o'clock. I remember when they started building the air raid shelters at the top of the playing fields. Headmaster Harrison, for Latin. No messing about at that school, or Saturday detention! Still have the stamp album I bought on the market after school. Was sweet on a girl in class, Cynthia Cliffe, who lived in Wargrave Road No 43, I think. I lived in St Helen's and used to catch the train every day. If schools were like Newton Grammar now children would have respect for teachers etc...I'm 86 now. Anyone out there from class of 39/40?
