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)
