Thank you to everyone who answered my post re Friern Rd School (1955-60), I first posted in 2009 and had almost forgotten about it!! I'm pleased some of you have seen it. I remember Miss Thompson, the headmistress for a time, Mrs Green was my form teacher but I can't remember another Mrs Green. The girls I remember very well were Valerie Alford, Valerie Goss, Sylvia Horwood and Barbara Moore. All very good friends at the time and I'm so sorry I lost contact with them. No Facebook in those days!! Just to remind you my name was Julia Price back then. I'm now married with three sons and a grandson.

I would be interested to hear from anyone who attended this school during the the late fifties, early sixties. Especially if you remember me. My name at the time was Julia Price. The teachers I can remember from this time were Mrs Green, Miss Young (french teacher), Miss Hitchen and Miss Flack (PE). I remember a school trip to France that many of us went on. It was a lot of fun but the trip back was horrendous. The worst ferry crossing for 60 years according to the papers. Everyone on board was really ill and we all arrived back looking chalk white and covered in vomit. Our parents were all shocked to see the state we were in.

I attended Friern Road Girls Secondary Modern School between 1955 and 1960. I would be iterested in any one else who was there around that time. My name before marrying was Julia Price. I did wonder what had happened to the school as there seems to be no trace of it on any of the friend finder sites. Sorry to hear it is now derelict.
