  1. Hi that looks like my brother front row fourth from the right his name is Anthony Wilton (Tony) sadly he is no longer with us. Maureen think I was at school with your twin sisters were you called Legg?

    • Hi Maureen, I remember you but couldn’t think of your surname, same with Ann and Linda. If I remember rightly Linda’s parents had a shop. As you say, happy days, I came over and took I wonder where everyone ended up. Are you still in the area?

      • Hi Sue yes I’m still in the area at Norton so not too far from Roseworth, did you leave the area? I also remember Linda’s parents had a shop and think it was a newsagents. I’m surprised that there hasn’t been more replies on this site, it would have been nice. I’m in touch with quite a few of my friends from when I was at Roseworth Secondary. I have twin Sisters Eileen and Kathleen two years younger than us but I don’t suppose you can remember them. Lovely hearing from you.

        • Hi Maureen, yes I did leave the area. I started Roseworth Secondary Modern after junior school but left in the Easter as we moved to Newton Aycliffe where I still live. I was friends with Carol Thornton when I was at the Secondary Modern but I lost touch with her when I moved. Sorry I don’t remember your sisters. I was quite saddened to see that the secondary school has also gone. Yes it is a shame there hasn’t been more interest in the site that would have been nice.
