Hi
I lived at 240 Mowbary Road on the corner with Kingsway just under the train tunnel. I went to Mowbary Road School from about 1960 to 64. I remember the Headmaster was Mr. Elliot I think. I also remember getting nits from a classmate and having to get my long hair cut short. I have a school pic somewhere, I'll dig it out and post it.

Cushy mowbray road school got pulled down 2 year ago.
What's your real name , there might be a few on here remember you,
how long is it since you where last in shields ? if it's a while I think
you'll be in for a shock at the change's.

PS I went to mortimer myself

my name is Iris Doyle, I have a brother Micheal and a sister (younger) called Jackie. They are both in Aus now. I have heard its changed a lot been 20 years since I was last in Shields. Thats why I started on this message board. Its wonderfull to see all the pics, bring back lots of memories.

Here's what your old house and school looked like today.

Thank you so much for the pictures, it was awsome to see my old house where I grew up. and sad to see the old school pulled down. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort in taking the pics and posting them. It made my day, especially after a not so good day at work.
Your name does not do you justice, it should be Mr. made Cushy happy.

I cannot remember him cos i would have passed his house every day , as i lived top of kingsway no 47 . I did not though no that the school had been knocked down . I keep saying i will post the picture i have , that does have mr elliot on and a mate called john turnbull , who was in my class .
