Bloomsbury School

A Memory of Nechells.

I went to Bloomsbury Street J I school, the Headmistress was called Mrs England and other members of staff were Miss Aston and Miss Tann. It would be about 1960. Does anybody remember a family called the Cotterills, they lived on Bloomsbury Street. The daughter, Audrey, was a friend of mine. There was also a mixed race girl called Yvonne Coley, I believe she came to an unsavoury end as a grown woman. We were a large mixed race family called the Hassan's, does anybody remember us, we lived in Taylor street.

I attended this school and Miss England was the head teacher. I remember taking the 11 plus exam and passing desperate to see my name written in gold on the board in the hall. Only seven of us passed the exam that year 1965? I went on to Marsh Hill School and my friend Jacqueline Nutt went to Erdington Grammar School. I loved the sweet shop in Lingard Street and spending time in Bloomsbury Library. Jackie Birch lived in the flats in Little Hall Road.
