St Marks

A Memory of Bredbury.

i went to St Marks from 1949 to 1956 and I remember Mr Thorpe the headmaster and Miss Briggs who taught the older children. On a cold morning Miss Briggs would have us doing warm up exercises in the classroom at the start of a lesson. My maiden name was Edwards and I now live in Australia

Hi,
You don't give your Christian name and to be honest I don't remember the surname, but I went to St Mark's around the same time as you. I remember the exercises and both Miss Briggs and Mr Thorpe - I was in the same class as his son John. My name is David Molesworth and I now live in Canada.
Hi David vaguely remember your name my name was Christina Edwards and I had two younger sisters at St Marks called June and Daphne I don't remember what you looked like but you may remember me wearing glasses with very fair hair. Amazing how we end up in all corners of the earth
Hi Dave You mentioned in your last reply that you wore glasses with a patch over your eye well I do recall seeing a boy younger than myself in this situation I dont recall any of those girls names you mentioned I think I may have been ahead of you in age as I am now 70 The boys in my class were Christopher Granger who wore specs and stuttered Brian Phibian Terrance Ashton Frank Thorley his sister Elizabeth Freda Marshall cant think of any more names just now Anyhow these might spark a memory for you

Hi Guys,
I was at St Marks & remember all of you.My name is Mike Healey.I had two older brothers, Brian & David,now gone:
The only 'Cooke' was Brian Cooke who was, and still is my pal.He has a younger sister,Judith.
We married at the same time, then got divorced allmost at the same time. I'm happily on my own in the same house ware I was brought up. two grown up daughters & 5 g/kids.
Cookie is currently cruseing the 'Med' with his 2nd wife,lucky sod.
I hope Christine's eye is better.
Hi Mike I am Christina Cherry was Edwards I don't recall your name Mike but remember Brian Cooke and other boys Christopher Granger Brian Phibian Alex Parsons Frank Thorley Gordon Gray now gone. It is difficult to trace girls as they change their names when marrying. I now live in Australia but am coming on a visit to Bredbury in August first time in 28 years. Maybe you could tell me more about yourself to see if I can remember you. I have been married now for 50 years and have a son and grand daughter.
