I left Gorsedale School in 1966....does anyone remember the young teacher that also ran the drama club? I think his name started with a B. I can close my eyes and it's like I am back there even though it's 45 years ago.

Hello There,
I remember Mr Wooley back in the 50's he spoke with a lisp and used to say "Historwy is a wunniny stweamm" Little know fact is that Mr Wooley fought in the first world war and he was a great teacher. He was not my class teacher but took us for relious instuction

I remember my teacher, Mrs. Jeffries. Maybe 1960?. I think the classroom was on the corner of Oakdale Road and Gorsedale Road.

Hi Albert, although I would be a bit younger than yourself you may have known my brother Tommy Wright. We lived in Wheatland Lane next to Dearings scrapyard. I knew your sister Pat and brother Robert?. I was the youngest then Ian and then Tommy (Butch) . Tommy passed away about 7 years ago.
What a small world it is we live in. Cheers
