Mill Lane Boy’s School Book Prize, 1961 – 1962, awarded to my brother G. Cope. Maybe others remember receiving this award, or something similar while at school…

Hi Linda, your brother Geoff & my brother Ian (ferguson) were best friends we lived in 33 Buchanan Street my mam was Aunty Audrey I can always remember your family having a bonfire in the back street every 5th November
Hi Robert, no sorry, no brothers called John – they are Stanley, Leslie, Alan and Geoffery. I also have a sister called Margaret. We lived at 2 St. Bernard Road.
Hi Linda. Thank you for letting me know. I should think I will have known one of your family if they where at Mill Lane up until 1966 when I finely escaped!
Hi Linda. Do you have a brother called John? If so I used to be a friend of his from Milbank Street, as for the award I vaguely remember it but would not have received one as I learned to read better after leaving school.
Robert, John’s sisters were called Pamela and Pat, they lived in Russel Street. I got an award like this, it was “gullivars travels”, Mr Robinson the head presented it to me for good attendance!
