I too went to Mandale Junior School then to Robert Atkinson (1960 – 1963).
We emigrated to Australia in 1963. I have lived in Sydney all my adult life. I have been very successful in the I.T. industry, holding the most recent positions of Sales Director(s) and Managing Director of some very large I.T. companies.
Now retired.

Hi Lawrence or anyone else that can help, I went to St Patricks Infants much later in 1962, it was behind St Patricks RC Church in Westbury Street which still stands today. Later I attended the school at the other end of Westbury Street. Is this the same school as Mandale Infants School? If not whereabouts did it stand as I don’t recall any infants school very close to Mandale Road, except this one and there was another school on the opposite side at the bottom of Westbury Street or somewhere in the back streets very close to Westbury Street. Thank you. Steve Dempsey

The Mandale Infants school was in Thorntree Road opposite the Robert Atkinson school; still there but now rebuilt and called Mandale Mill. The other school you refer to would have been Westbury street school, demolished many years ago.

Oh it’s up the other end! Yes Westbury Street School! that’s the one thank you Margaret. Thank you everyone (Lawrence, Sandra, Colin, Margaret, M Plummer) for educating me and refreshing my memory, aah it seems like only yesterday, but really it’s a lifetime away, how sad things change so much. I much prefer the bottom end of Westbury Street as it stood than it now is with the A66 running underneath!!
