No pictures of it, but I used to go to the Church Army Mission there on a Sunday evening - they had a great brass band to accompany the hymn singing.

Hi Bob Sorry I have no pictures. I also went to York Street Infant school but probaly around five years after you as I was only born in 54. York Street was at the corner of Talbot Street where I lived so it easy journey to school each morning. Both myself and my brother attended York street and he being five years older than me was probably there at the same time that you were. Hope you find what you are looking for

Hi Bob,

I went to York St from 1950 to 54 but I havn't got any phots? I can however remember marching round the assembly hall on Empire day with the Headmistress waving a huge union Jack.

J.C.
If you click on reply like you did to post you above message scroll to the bottom of the reply window and you will see a button for 'Use Full Editor'
Click that and you will see an 'attachments' section appear under the reply window.
Click 'Browse' and navigate to your picture, select it and click the 'Attach This File' button.
Basically that should be it once you hit the 'Add Reply' button.

I suppose it depends how you reply in a thread JC.
If you click on 'Add Reply' after the last post it takes you into the full editor.
If you just click in the reply window that's when the option to 'Use Full Editor' appears

Hi jc I know the feeling well :rolleyes: . I am waiting for my daughter to put firefox on when she has time. Your pic would be five years before I was born. However I don't think york street changed in anyway so looking forward to you pic going on :thankyou:
