Lol We also did a lot of collecting used stamps as well, it's funny, if I could have remembered this well back then, what would I have been now!!!???, mmmmmm, I wonder Roll eyes |Thumbs| My very best regards, Tom.

I've just come across this class photo taken some time around 1958. I'm on the second row from the back, second one in, pulling a funny face as always. I can put names to a few faces. Can anyone supply any more? I can see David Ryan (with the round glasses) and Geoff Evans (fifth from left second row) More names are popping into my head but it's been, er, 50 something years.

Welcome to the forum Davey, and great to see my old school on here, thank you! Thumbs up It's a little before my time - I was there 1970 to 76. However, in all my years at Stoke Junior in Briton Road, and later Stoke Park, I don't recall any whole class photos EVER being taken - only individual ones. Sad Such a shame, because I'd love to see if I can recognise some old faces. If anyone knows of any photos from this school, it would be fantastic to see them.

Hello my name is Juliette Anne nee Kohn, a former pupil at Richard Lee School, many years ago. I am trying to find the webpage for the reunions that take place for former pupils. I was at School with Mary nee Harrison, Jacquiline nee Thrift, Sandra nee Davis, Michael nee Mobberley. Does anyone know of there whereabouts? Can you help me with this? I attended Richard Lee from the age of 5 years (1954-1958) Do not know my way around this site, or how to register on the Richard Lee Infant and Junior website. If you could pass this information on to me, I would be very grateful. My email address is trac.on@hotmail.co.uk. My occupation is a Teacher.

I think I'm confused!! Not hard for me!!! Stoke Secondary Modern annexe was roughly behind Wyke Road, yes?? So what was the buildings that were on St Margaret's playing fields? The main building was down by the crossroads with Mellowdew/Ansty and Wycliffe Road?? And he second build which I used to know it as the 'pavilion' at the top by entrance to the allotments. Had these buildings etc got anything to do with Stoke Secondary Modern or was this the remnants of another school. Also on a different tack, does anyone remember permission being sought for flattening of all those allotments and a new school to be built? As I lived with my parents in Dane Road, they objected to this and it eventually got thrown out. Later years proved this was wrong decision as a lot of houses got rat and mice problems!!!!! Thinking this was around mid 60's/70's Thumbs up Thumbs up Thumbs up

I was at Stoke Secondary between 1969-1972, there was three parts of the school then, main building in Briton Road, the annex on Ansty Road that was known as Norman House, it was used for art and needlework, also girls' games field, the third was on Wyken Croft that was the boys' games field. Many years earlier in the forties the school was known as Stoke Council School, my mum and her sister went there.

I was at Stoke from September 1951 to December 1954, first at the annexe and then Briton Rd. At the annexe I was in 'Pop' Fawson's class an ex WW2 fighter pilot and strict disciplinarian but a great teacher. He kept order by the threat of 'Daisy' the cane which hung over the blackboard with a large blue ribbon tied round it. Such was his prowess with 'Daisy' that I remember him once caning the entire class of thirty boys because one miscreant wouldn't own up to his misdemeanour. The headmaster at this time was 'Ginger' Bailey a real toff who invariably wore tweed suits with a bow tie.He used to drive his Morris Oxford across the playground scattering boys in all directions (no health and safety mafia then).The only other teachers I remember from the annexe were a Mr Brown and a Mr Panter who strangely enough used to ride a magnificent motorbike called a Panther. My first class at Briton Rd was taught by Mr Hoare who was also the science teacher whose favourite torture was to grasp the hair in front of your ear and give it a vicious twist. The next year class was run by Charles Mortimer a real gentleman and also the geography teacher. The 4th year teacher was Mr Woodward who taught maths. Some other teachers I remember were 'Taff' Watkins, PE and rugby, Mr Knight, geography, Bulldog' Thatcher, Joe Hurst, music, Mr Warner, Mr Shilton, woodwork, and Mr Bromwich, metalwork. Presiding over the whole school was the formidable presence of Sid Bonham the Headmaster. I'm sure that somewhere I have a class photograph from 1951 which I am trying to locate, when I do I'll add it to a post.

On 7th Jun 2012 1:44pm, flairybell said: I went to Stoke Primary School in 1962. The 'baby' class was ran by a Miss Ellis who was lovely. We had chalk boards and a wendy house, sand pit. It was located at the very bottom of the playground and sometimes we would come out and sit under the big tree also situated at bottom of playground.
Hi flairybell, I attended Stoke Primary School in 1963/64, before my family moved away. I remember it just as you describe, including the tree! I think it was the same Miss Ellis who taught me. I caused my mother a lot of distress as I was a very poor eater. I remember once she got me to take sandwiches to eat at 'playtime'. A rather large older boy tried to take one from me and when I refused, he reported me to one of teachers who confiscated the sandwiches as eating at 'playtime' was forbidden. A more pleasant memory was Miss Ellis putting us on her knee sometimes during 'Listen with mother'.
