Here is the scan I found at St. Georges around 1933.  Don’t have the girl’s name, but my mother had written on the back, Den was page boy. Dennis was my brother and you have his picture among the school photos taken at St Georges.

Just as matter of interest Dennis was married over the road at the Oratory and I was in contact with them a few weeks ago to find out the date of his marriage. Dennis died in a accident and his 2 girls, who live in West Midlands, had asked me if I had any details etc. They were only very young and did not know Dennis at all.

School Photograph around 1935, my brother, Dennis is 6th from left back row.

This picture would be at St. Georges school around 1935, but perhaps some one may be able to recognise some of the other kids and place a date.

 
Some houses can be seen in the background in Beaufort Road.

I think the lad 4th from left in the back row was surname Saul. His father was a doctor or similar with a practice on Hagley Road with his brass name plate  on the wall at the front and we used to stand and look at in awe as we went past.  

Seems like only yesterday

Here is the other picture, taken again around 1935, St Georges School, I am at the extreme right on the front row with the tie on of course.  

Cheers

Can anyone help with the names of the other children in either of the photographs?

Just discovered the web page on St. Georges School and fascinated. I attended 1945 to 1947 and have 2 photos date stamped for those years, but they are not the same as displayed (and on which I don't see myself) although recognise several pupils.

My biggest memory is of the 1947 snow, when on one day only 3 of us turned up and the snow was incredibly deep around by the Plough and Harrow. In those days we went by ourselves and I recall being dared to go in the back entrance of the Oratory to make the priest shout at us to go away.

Roy Radbourne was a good friend and I wonder if he is still in the area. Of the girls, Betty Bryant and Janet Riley were always laughing. There was also a boy called Dawson who always seem to get into scrapes and fights.

Tough times, but some fond memories.

Derek Faulkner (still in Brum).

The lollipop man was my granddad Ernest Tomkins, never missed a day on the lollipop. The lad centre is Gordon Richardson (goggleman) he had wirey specs above his head.

Susan Hayward, Steve's brother, lived in Parker Street, to her right Gordan's sister, ? tall girl left, Leslie Hall, above her, Brian Deakin and the good looking lad pointing at the camera, me Steve Triplett, 36 Bellis Street, granddad got another job at Whitehouse's, the paint place, cleaning up, fell down the stairs an died.

He lived at 53 Carlyle Road with nan Elsie. I recognise the others but can’t put a name there.

We attended St Georges School and well remember Mr. Pillinger, the headmaster. I also remember Mr. Fredrick and being a very naughty boy in his class. Miss Hobbs the trainee teacher who used to take us to the teacher training college.

Happy days, I am unsure of the date of this photo and can only recall a few names. Geoffrey Parkes, Michael Hickinbottom, Jonathon Green and I believe, a Carol Williams; her mother kept a greengrocers near the junction of Ladywood Road and Monument Road (I think)

I went to St Georges from 1955 to 1962, this is a photograph of

Mr Pillinger giving a leaving present to Mr Tomkinson? the lollipop man,
