Memories of Barbara Hill I
have just been looking at the schools pages, I used to go to Steward
Street School from approx 1947-1950 and I seem to remember the
school was in the papers around that time, it was called
the ''do as you please school". The
headmaster at the time was Mr. Scott. I
wonder if anyone can remember this. |
