St Anthony’s Church of England and Wharrier Street primary schools, both in Walker, were closed in August 2012. They have been replaced by a new-build school, Central Walker Church of England Primary School.

The last picture used to be Mr Speddings the caretakers house . I went to school there until 1968 then went to Wharrier Street .
ReplyDeleteLovely to find this. My dad was the head teacher at St Anthony’s at that time - Mr Fisher!
DeleteI went to this school from it being new and remember Mr Fisher with great fondness. Probably the best teacher / headmaster I ever had.
DeleteI used to go to this school in the 1980s
ReplyDeleteSame here, this was when the likes of miss Shields, Mr Tan and miss Potts were there. Went to Allenheads with this school.
