Runcorn Memories: First glimpse at album reveals life in the 1970s
JOAN Hawkins is affectionately remembered to this day by West Bankers for her work as a community nurse in the riverside village in the 1960s and 70s. And during her time there, which followed her early career as a missionary, she not only retained a number of photographs of West Bank Junior School pupils but also painstakingly collated all the names of the boys and girls on the photos.
Sadly, Joan died at the age of 90 at the beginning of July of this year and her partner, Jack Shaw, of Reeve Court, Rainhill, kindly came down to our office with Joan's collection so that we could publish them for readers to see. The first of these shows teacher Mrs Hargreaves with her class of 1971-72.
The picture shows the class of 1971-72:Left to right (back row): Mark Jackson, Paul Droogan, Sharon Tiernon, Ernest Bertie, John Behan, Ann Callaghan, Pauline Smith, Deborah Doyle, Laurence Grace, Barry Mitchell, Anthony McNulty.
