More about this scene

Back to the east of St Peter's Hill, the photographer looks north along Castlegate, with the Beehive Inn on the left; the leaves hide a beehive set in the tree, which is still there. The name sign 'East Street' has been reused on a 1960s replacement for the buildings on the right, while beyond the Gothic-style school soars the 280 feet tower and spire of St Wulfram's.

My last three years at school were spent in the small building at the centre of the picture. At the time what had previously been the Brownlow infants school was an annex to the Girl's Central School hidden behind building to the right. Both buildings now have another use as The Girls Central School was replaced by Walton Girls School on Kitty Briggs Lane back in the mid 1960s
