S...God, the end of Bolam St School, how depressing,<br />Sitting here in Florida, and visited your page for the first time, what a surprise. Us old expatriates like to think that the old neighborhood would always stay somewhat the same. The Bolam St demolition photos were so depressing. <br />I used lived at 154 Commercial Rd from 1935 til 1962. I reminisce about the old Byker often. <br />Cheers, <br />Syd HUdspithSydney HUdspithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19670640.post-87031584565285462552011-01-08T23:05:42.135+00:002011-01-08T23:05:42.135+00:00i also went to school there in the late 60s early ...i also went to school there in the late 60s early 70s and yet still remember the odd name there was karen cooper keren taylor and dave curry to whome in those days was my best mate, and at that time was quite an all right school to be inAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19670640.post-19392199594175660922009-12-11T14:16:22.369+00:002009-12-11T14:16:22.369+00:00It's completely gone now.
