Hello there. Yes I knew your Dad really well. He was a great kid. Talked to him via some obscure friend finder many many years ago. I know he worked in the NHS yes? and emigrated to Australia was it? Tell him hello from me if you see him (Stevan Newcomb)

Great pics of old Chegger Road school by the way. Despite its workhouse appearance I was quite fond of the old place. Incidentally Stephen Lee was one of my best mates. Great lad. Why he had dentures at his age I can’t remember.

St Georges Leasowe Road ,building still in use. Leasowe Primary I think moved into the building formerly used by Oxley girls school ,they merged with Henry Meoles which was renamed Wallasey School then Kingsway Academy that closed last month .Building now empty.Anyone know what's likely to happen to it? It seems to me that as the population increases the schools decrease.

The GDP of charities in the UK is about three times higher than that of Germany yet Germany has a lower Poverty Rate.
