Just to let you know that I am still here.
Anyone out there remember 'Gunner Mills', the headmaster of Balliol Road School in the early 1950's? He was a bit of a tyrant. When we returned to school after the holidays he would ask if any boy had been in trouble with the police (he knew anyway 'cos he was a magistrate). The offenders, and there were always one or two. were marched out in front of the school and given a public caning. Imagine that happening now!
The school song was Abide with me. I still get goose bumps whenever I hear it.
I know someone, a bit posh like, who went to Balliol Road School. In later life when asked which school he went to would always say Balliol (first syllable rhyming with hail) so people would think he went to Balliol College, Oxford. I hope he doesn't read this.

Thanks Sheila. My email address is as listed on the site. Also, I now have a few photographs that I have managed to scan onto the computer. One is a class photo. taken at Bedford Road school, circa 1949. There are two taken of Bootle Firemen, one in the station and the other at a church service at Christ Church, Bootle. What I now have to discover is how to post them on the site. Watch this space!
