old elton street
Hi I was wondering if anyone could help. I went to Battle Hill primary school, then went to what was once High Farm Middle school which got burnt down the year after I left. I was the last generation of year 8 to attend the school under that name before it turned into Burnside primary (I think), but my reason for being here is to ask if anyone has any photos of the school itself. I’ve looked for years and never been able to find any. Thank you
Shaun
Yes, there was a Mr Lawlor. And then I think a Mrs Nellie Cosgrove. My mum was a teacher there: Mrs Jackson – for quite a few years. I was there in the 1960s.
My name is Stanley Mould I was a pupil at Saint Peters Church of England school
from 1960 till I left school in 1965. Like to here from anyone that was at the school around
that time.
Hi Stan it’s Jimmy stark
Hi Stan
My name is Phil. I was the year behind you. We met again in the early 70s in the “Hind Pub” Cramlington and had a few pints together. How are you doing
I am naturally retired now. I still have a home in Cramlington but am currently living in Thailand. Hope you are healthy and happy

Anybody remembers us
Hi, I’m Terry and was at St Aidan’s from about ’53 to ’59, then went on to Wallsend Technical School. Possibly I was in the year above you? I think I was in the same year as Alan and Tony. I was good friends with the brothers and with their pals Brian Breeze and Jon Day (playing snooker upstairs in Wallsend Social Club etc).
Great to touch with the old days

Please would you know about the old St Columbas school on Hedley street Wallsend. I’m trying to locate the street it was on around the corner which was the playground opposite Gordon Square I believe.
Kind Regards.
Possibly Elton Street West
I don’t have photographs of the school , don’t think I could afford a camera then ,
but I do have memories . One of which was of my last teacher in that school before passing the 11+ . That teacher was a Mr Lawlor . Is that you or a family member ?
No,not I
I left the School,in 1948
(Long before your time)
