I remember Harry Sharrat, he played for Bishop Auckland and he brought to school the FA Amateur Cup
they had won at Wembley. It was my second year so around 1955.

in 1944-1949 I went to night school in a school down Darley Street off North Street is the building still there??

I'm afraid Darley Street and the school is long gone, its now under the Leeds College of Building

Does anyone have any photos of Woodhouse Street School, or Woodhouse Infants? There are only very partial images on Leodis.

Also in Woodhouse, St Mark's School that used to be between Cathcart Street and Raglan Road. I can't find any information about that one at all.

Who remembers St Dominic’s Middle School in the 70s and early 80s. It was at the bottom of Leopoldo Street in Chapeltown. Teachers included Mr Heggarty, Miss Noreen Walsh, Miss Cavadino, Miss Casey, Miss Cabry, Mrs Abrahams, Mr Cockeram, Mr Wilson, Mr Shiels, Bogey Brennan, Mrs Foster and Mr Howell. A great school, I loved it and will never forget it. It was the happiest time of my life!

Who remembers St Dominic’s Middle School in the late 70s, early 80s. It was situated in Leopoldo Street, Leeds7, and I spent my happiest times there.
My best mate was Victor Obanye and my favourite teacher Mr. Howell!

St Dominic's became the Holy Rosary and St Anne's primary and is still on the same site. My father-in-law was the caretaker there for 20-odd years, Mr Neville.

Does anyone remember St Charles school which was next to New York Road and I went there mid/late 50s. It had one concrete playground in which we boys played football and every so often the ball (heavy leather) would go sailing over the wrought iron fence onto the poor unsuspecting drivers on New York Road as it swept from the Woodpecker Junction up to North Street. The road level was much lower then and the fact that there was never a major accident was a minor miracle.
