It was indeed in Rock Ferry - just, the boundary went down the back edge of the school land so that both sides of Thorburn Road were in New Ferry.

The school opened at the same time that the boarding school opened in 1863, at first it occupied part of the priest's house. The school moved into its 'new' building in 1871, this was greatly extended in 1914. St Joseph's school moved to its new building on Moreton Road in 1966.

The old building is still standing and is now used by Upton Hall School.

Hi just been reading this thread and found it very interesting looking at the school were my dad used to go. According to the dates you have mentioned I can only assume the people listed were his class mates!!!! His name is Bruce Hogan and I wonder if anyone remembers him?!?!?! I think he is on the picture in the play ground! Lovely picture to see! Thanks

Went there myself Chris, left 86'. Have a look at the photos on The Woodlands Facebook page, loads of good photos.

George, Eddie Shields died years ago, I'm assuming he's the same one, he knew Chewy Lyons, the last one i told you who died, Eddie lived in the high rise flats that used to be by the Pilot, Duke St. probably the same bloke. As far as i know he went to Hemmy with Chewy.

on Charing Cross having a pint ,that could have been between
30 to 40 yrs ago I have not lived in Birkenhead since 1962 i
only got to see mates on my vists back home
Thanks for the info its most welcome as i have not had much luck searching myself
Cheers George

That's right George, i drank with Eddie in the Grange, when it was knocked down we moved to the Labour club( The York) Grange Rd, time flies, he died of throat cancer about 15-20 years ago. Went the match with him as well, good Blue.

I went to Withensfield Middle School from 1981 to 1982, it is where Liscard Primary is now. There is a Centenary Summer Fair on 16 July and an open evening on 19 July from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. All former staff and pupils are welcome to take a tour of the building.
