This photograph of Westbury Street Girls School, Thornaby is dated 1949. I think my mother is the girl just below the top line of girls – her head is above the second row, slightly right of the centre. Her name was Margaret Hough. Sadly she passed away in 2013 at the age of 74.

My mother went to that school around that time… we think she’s 2nd from right, front row.
Kathleen Bell, as she was then (apologies to whoever it is if we’re wrong!).
Excellent, I used to go to this school.
I attended St Patrick’s Thornaby during the 1950s. We called Westbury Street school kids, “The Wesie Bull Dogs”.
Halcyon days.
I went to the Wessey from 54-62 when I moved on to Arthur Head. We always called ourselves that as well.
