wow now thats old

pe i think

RN wogga williams played rugby for Wales If I recall correctly, remember Miss Bolger, she was alright.
Had Miss Hannah for history, remember fielding and Ewing-he could be an evil sod at times too.
Meehan for Spanish, then Garlic, That hippy-Limb I think for physics and also Wanless for metalwork-another "hard" man.

bernie you must of been there same time as me,you havnt got any school photos or anything like that have you because i cannot put faces to the names of the teachers anymore,the only one i can remember properly was fields who did history.he was british and always spoke in a fake german accent for some reason.vaguely remember mr potterton because he had to teach our class about sex education for a whole half hour and he just couldnt cope with it,he was very old at the time.i cant even remmber who my form tutor was!!!possibly mr hayden or hyden.

I remember most of those names as well,Mr Limb(Very long neck,which gave rise to the quip"Argh giraffe to Sir")went off on sick leave I think around about '75/'76,so supply teachers were brought in to cover of course,I'm almost certain that Fred Talbot the weatherman was one of them,he took some terrible stick and never lasted there long,seems he went onto bigger and better things though.I once asked Mr Ewing to find out for me at one of my kids parents evenings,never heard nowt back though.
I still see Mr Lowry from time to time,he's retired now and looks exactly the same as he did all those years ago,he is still a true gent as well.
Sadly Mr Williams did pass away a few years ago.

Chris

mr ewing rings a bell,what did he teach,dont know why but i dont seem to remeber much from school,it was a pretty shit time for me until in the last year when i kicked the provebial out of four of my four year tormentors,one of the best days of my life.the episode was witnessed by one of my teachers who turned his back,when i had finished he asked why i had not done it earlier lol.then he stuck up for me when the lads complained and had to visit mr elmer.

Ewing was Biology and PE

I don't have old photo's at all, sorry.
I was in 2K probably 1978 or 79 with Mr. Bailey(chemistry) as form tutor.
Which MR Williams died RN I assume, he went nearly blind a bit ago I think, I saw him walking around Bebington with a white stick a couple of years ago.

must of been biology i had with him,wish someone had some pics.
who was the dude who taught chemistry with a funny accent around 82/82


that really is the worlds website scoops lol.lad i used to work with is really good mates with them mixies boys,asked me to see them a few times but never fancied it.looking at that i am glad i never ever went lol.i found out once that he was on mixies shoulders naked for an hour and that was enough to put me off for ever.

This was my old school! - Left in 96.

Chemistry was Ollie Allen, Chris Maddox, Mr Bailey and Mr Potterton in 1976.

E E Williams died around 1974/5.

R N Williams used to live on Kings Road just Birkenhead side of Broadway .

On the left heading up to Broadway IIRC
