St Catherine's School

A Memory of Collyhurst.

I went to St Catherine's school in Collyhurst in the 1940s and 1950s, does anybody remember this school? I cannot find any records or memories from my school, is there anybody out there who remembers me, Jean Duffy?

In my class I remember Edna Moss, Madge Connolly, Jeanette McDonald, Irene Dunn, Margerie Hughes, Lillie Ellis, Joan Pedder, Pat Ashmore, David McMillan, Clifford McDonald, Tommy Summers, Eddie Wareing and Ken Storah.

I will be grateful to hear from anybody with any memories of those days. I often wonder how they all are as I grow older, as I haven't seen anybody from my school days for around 58 years!

Kind Regards,
Jean Hodkinson nee Duffy.
