I was at this school for only one year. We moved to Norton in August 1957 and I’d already passed the 11 plus in Stockport but was 4 weeks too young to go to Secondary School so I had an enjoyable year with a great class and a great teacher (Mr Thompson). I can put names on some of the faces but I don’t know how reliable my memory is after 67 years.

Mr M Simpson: Silver Street, Stockton on Tees 1929 – This photograph is from my late mothers family history records showing the shop in Silver Street and the man himself from October 1929. Albert (Bert) Gilbert Glasby was my Great Uncle (by marriage) and took over the shop when his father, William Robert Glasby, died in 1939, as far as I’m aware.

We’ve had some sad news sent to us from David Gibson about one of our regular contributors, Frank Mee.
“My relative, and not infrequent contributor to Picture Stockton, Frank Mee (or Phil as he was known to the family) has passed away at the age of 95.
Regular readers will know that he was both knowledgeable and witty which made his posts entertaining and enlightening. His Knowledge of the ICI at Billingham where he worked for many years was second to none. I know he will be missed on this site and I am am sure you will agree with me that we are all wiser because of his contributions” – David Gibson.
He will be sadly missed. RIP Frank.

Anderston Foundries occupied a massive site next to the railway track in Port Clarence on the north/east side of the Transporter Bridge. These two adverts were in the railways section of an old Engineering Handbook. They show that the foundry produced a good range of rail track equipment, including crossings and points.
Not surprisingly, the overseas market is highlighted in the main advert. In this country, with the introduction of welded track and reinforced concrete sleepers, the steel sleeper, rail chair and fishplate market was disappearing. Nevertheless, the Anderston Foundry were doing the right thing in having an office in Victoria Street, London. No distance from Westminster Abbey.
