Old 'Skool'

I would be interested to find out which schools you all went to Before yewlands school.

I went to Mansell, {forgot full name} it was the school across from yewlands...

Anyway if anyone's interested I believe that I still have a class photo from my days at mansell school... It's the only past photo I have, at least to my knowledge, but I'm sure to anyone else who maybe on that photo they'd probably appreciate me posting it.

Back then I was young and foolish, the only difference now is that I'm just foolish. :rolleyes:

i also went to mansel,(to give it its full name for robert) mansel primary. but i left in 1976. mr whitbread, if you remember him only left a couple of years ago. he recognised me straight away when i took my daughter there. frightening since i was never in his class.(made a good impression then :P )

Ah Mr Whitbread, that name sounds familar.... I can't remember much from about Mansel... I know I have a class photo in the photo section though...

I too remember Mr Merrills was in his class...

I went to mansel as well and left in 76. I remember Mr Whitbread and his slipper named Joey, quite a few of the lads felt old joey when they stepped out of line (2) I also remember Mr Merrills who went on to teach for a while at Monteney juniors, also Mrs S Jones, Mrs K Jones, Miss Ellison who worked in the sheaf market for quite a few years and the lovely Mr Shaw who sadly passed away a few years ago.
