  We must have been in the same class as I remember those pupils you named along with some others. Kathleen Lait, Christine Goodman, John Lacey, Graham Carlisle, Joy Ellerby, Susan Smith, June Carter plus many faces come to mind but only first names remembered. I have spent the last 30 years in Canada. I am a resident of White Rock on the west coast a few miles north of the US border

  Linda Evans? I don't remember your name. I'd trade pictures with you but I don't have any of me at that age. I can try a mental association thing. When Miss Proctor was trying to get us to understand Macbeth, Elsie Wilford was at or near the right rear corner of the classroom. I was at the other side of the room, about two desks down from the back. Can you remember where you where? Actually I DO remember the name >>more

  My maiden name was Pugsley back in those days. Yes, I remember John Lacey. He and Sam Bontoft were usually up to no good in class. I presume they went on to great things once out of school. Can't say they were the happiest days of my life. I was painfully shy probably because I was my full height (5'7")at 13 years old, skinny with unruly fair hair! I don't have any pictures of myself, left them behind in England when >>more

  Hi Linda, Don't remember you, but never mind. John Lacey went to work at the Scunthorpe Steel Works as some kind of engineering technician. I went to visit him from Oz some years back, but the relationship sorted of faded away. I think Sam Bontoft may be a fireman in the Humberside area, but I'm not sure. All I can really remember about him was he was swarthy skinned and could make his nose bleed by blowing his nose, and did >>more

  List price is £7.99. Buy it, read it, sell it to a friend for a fiver. (Might be cool to try the Tesco book site.)

  A copy of 'blrlnd' is available from Hull Central Library. Worth crossing the bridge for.

  Hello Susie. I am from Barton on Humber - born and bred there, but I - unfortunately - live in Hull - across the water on the north bank of the R. Humber. I`d love to live back in Barton, and go there often. The George Hotel has i`m afraid, gone to the dogs. I remember all those quaint little rooms where one could sit and have a quiet pint. Now it`s all one big room, and very loud. The best >>more

  Hello David, Well, it's been a very long time (a few years) since I've been on here. I had to create a new account. It's so good to hear from someone who is fimiliar with Barton. I adored the George Hotel and The Volunteer Pub. I'm sure things have changed - for the better I hope, unfortunately, I'm not so sure it sound as though it has. I left my heart in England. My memories of England are so great and >>more

  Well Susie - here I am! I don't know what happened to the (23?) cents and red hair slide, or to the years that have passed, but I'm still around and (doing OK I think) living in SW Scotland with my wife Heather who is an artist and I'm (still!) working as a University Lecturer in North Cumbria. I do hope you check this website and we can get in touch again. You sound like you're having a nostalgia attack and >>more
