I still see the journey from my home in Morecambe to start my senior school years. First the bus from my home on Regent Road to the Midland Hotel. Then, across to the station for the train to Green Ayre station. From there a walk past Wareing and Gillow furniture store where I had planned to buy when I grew up! Mostly I would pass by grisly Dr Ruxtons then uphill to school where I did my GCEs before moving to the new Our Lady’s High School across Skerton bridge.
Green Ayre railway station on the left, with the Greyhound Bridge curving across the river. The bridge is now a road bridge. Most of the station is Sainsbury's supermarket, car park, and a riverside park "heritage centre".
