Runcorn Memories: Names of St Pat's class of 1971 are revealed

By Runcorn And Widnes Weekly News on Nov 6, 09 05:03 PM in 1961-1980

THIS is the latest photograph in our short series featuring classes of 1971-72 at the old St Patrick's RC School, West Bank.

My apologies to readers for mistakenly thinking the pictures had been taken at West Bank Junior School. The backdrop to the photos should have made it obvious to me that they were, in fact, taken at St Pat's.

The pictures were taken by former community nurse Joan Hawkins who died earlier this year at the age of 90. Her partner, Jack Shaw, of Rainhill, provided the photos.

The children are pictured with their teacher, Mr McMullen.

Back row: Stephen Ashton, Stephen Gray, Brendan Foskin, Michael Moran, Barry McKeown, Thomas Arrowsmith, Barry Worth, Alan Woolley.

Middle row: Malacahy Houghton, Stephen Dunning, Ian Bradshaw, John Pye, Anthony McGowan, William Shaw, Trevor Burgess, Anthony Philbin, Paul Flynn, Liam Carter.

Front row: Mr McMullen with Teresa Worsley, Tina Tomlinson, Ann Twist, Colleen Mullally, Helen Colford, Sharon Hayes, Kerry Trehy, Paula Phillips, Deborah Skilky.
