I you look in my photograph gallery you will see a class photo of Barnes Road Class 1A with two of the Singh brothers - I think they were called Umar and Gupta.

It closed to greyhound racing in 1966

german john what years were you there?

Delilahcat I don't think any offence has been taken. Despite the fixtures and fittings at the school the education was first class - I was one of many that passed the 11 plus from the junior school. Of course we would have liked new buildings with all of the most up to date equipment. Until recently...

Barnes Road did me no harm! I got a good education there and had a very happy time at the school.

My avatar shows 231 John Williamson Street where I was born in 1953 - I don't remember the Days but my older brother (Pooter) may. The community was close knit and the area well served by the shops of Frederick Street and Laygate. The houses unfortunately were slums - only a cold water tap, no bathr...

The children are going to be looked after by their natural father and not her current partner.
Come on folks show some compassion she is in her twenties and dying a pretty horrible death.

Why do you need it?
If you have a UK passport you are entitled to NHS care you don't need an NHS number. I doubt anyone will ask you for it.

Pooter you sound like a bitter mackem

I can't wait till they get relegated again, at least then match day traffic will drop! I don't want to worry you but it's a well known fact that Sunderland get far bigger gates during promotion seasons than relegation seasons. So I reckon you'll have the same problem next year when we come straight...

Nearly it's Gerard Hoffnung.

This site says born 10 South Eldon Street and then moved to 360 John Williamson Street - looks well researched to me:

Go here to read about John Simpson Kirkpatrick:

Although it says born in South Eldon Street other sources say he was born at 360 John Williamson Street - I prefer the latter as that is the street i was born in as well!
