Does anyone have photos from 1950 – 1956?
Does anybody remember Miss (or Mrs) Peverill or something similar? She was the first one that found out that I was short-sighted after having failed some easy maths test.
I was in Mr Jones 4th year Class and can remember going on those hike up Roseberry topping and Captain Cooks monument on Saturday Mornings

Mr Moores was a great teacher and headmaster.
I was there through infants and juniors and I’m even on the re-rendered 8mm films that are now around – I never thought I’d see myself that young again. I had forgotten most of the teachers names but remember their faces, thanks to the people who have named them. Mr Snow I seem to remember always had a cigarrette in his hand or am I mistaken ? Anyway good that they’re all on and many thanks to Rona for these memories. Your father must have had a good innings.
Does anyone recall a Mrs Lillian Goodhall MBE, following her transfer from the National School, George Street, she was the Headmistress at Queens Street, does anyone have any photos of her? or further details about when/where she may have died and be buried, so I can lay flowers on her grave.

Does anyone have any old photos of Queen Street, Thornaby about 1940 to 1950 please?
I was in two of Mr Crawford’s classes. To me he was a very inspiring teacher; he made his lessons interesting and memorable. Took no sh*t from his pupils, though! And Miss Weatherill had bright red hair.
What a marvellous photograph. Brian Moores was inspiring and a thoroughly decent man who ran the school well. I remember him being too upset to attend his leaving assembly, so attached had he become to the school. Mr Moores must have been one of the first teachers to shoot film of school activities. He used to film us on trips with his Russian Quartz camera and he was quite good at it.
Rona I’d be very keen to know if those 8mm films survive. I’m a film maker myself, perhaps they could be digitised and archived, they’d be an invaluable record of growing up in the 1960’s.

Big thank you to all my wonderful teachers
Are you the young lady who lived in Brisbane Crescent? I was the boy from number 1!!
The man back far left, looks like Mr Jones, he was a great teacher, loved English and books and hikes onto the moors. He used to take his class on the train at weekends up to the hills for walks on the moors, we loved it.
Mr Snow fourth left back row and Mr Crawford third right front row. Only staff left from my time there 1944 1950 .
