I’ve been wondering what happened to Bill and Tom Edwards who attended St Bede’s in the 60s. They lived on the Hardwick Estate.

Just met Gilbert Allinson today the fist time since about 1964/5. The first time I’ve seen these photo’s I think, I have a different one from another year. It should be Michael Conroy though not Paul, he now frequents the Mallable social club, I think Friday evenings.

I lived across the street from St. Bede’s, you can see it behind the boys, our home was on the corner of Green Lane and Castlereigh Road right across from the school. My family moved there from Mellor Street in about 1961.

This was Brother Brendons class – he was our Form Master for two years. I spent four happy years there but left with hands like leather through constant caning – when I look back I think I deserved it. The school was a safe and happy environment.
