St James School

A Memory of Collyhurst.

My maiden name was Barrow and I was born 1937. I went to St James School and remember
Mr Roe, the headmaster. In the last class it was Mr Cathcart and remember teachers in
the nursery class as Mavis said; two very nice ladies. I lived in Arnold St with my dad and Grandma, there was the Fenntons who lived at the bottom of the street whose father gave piano
lessons. Tracy's grocery on the corner of our street. When I left school I started work at Akroys making shirts and PJ that was a couple of streets from me, forgot the name. I got married at 18 had three boys, lived in Blackly then Winsford, Cheshire. Then in 1955 emigrated to Canada and still married - have 6 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren. It would be nice if anyone remembers us. Cheers, from Canada.
