| Comments: | Nice site found when browsing (at work). Went to Beamont 1977 - 1982 and have great memories in particular of the unholy trio of Knocker Bibby & Brazier and their 'justice'. Dunc McArthur and Sammy Hoyle were also stars, and Paul Pritchard even if he is a scally. Regularly see 'JFK' the chemistry and physics maestro down the pub nowadays - lives around corner from me. Good luck with the site. |

| Comments: | Hi John (Williams)
Panoramic Student Photos - Beamont Technical School. I have three panoramic whole school photos, two taken in 1958 and one from 1960 available to a good home. The photographs have no significance for myself but I am sure some of your subscribers, or yourself, would be pleased to have them. Contact me via e-mail and I will arrange for anybody to collect them from the present William Beamont reception. |

I was brought up in Roome Street and went to Beamont nursery, infants, juniors and finally the seniors with Ronnie Birkett as headmaster and Mr Dutton as deputy. My best mates I suppose were Peter Jackson, Dick Hoey, John O'Neil. I remember many school vacations with Walt Norris and Jack Lord - Skerries in Ireland; lake Garda Italy; Southsea and the lake district. Just missed out on the school going mixed!! Still in Warrington - still helping to run RYLANDS ARLFC - come and have a pint if you know me, I am in Rylands Rec most weekends. I must say it was very exciting finding this site and brought back many memories. Brilliant. |

| Comments: | I went to Beamont from 1975 - 1979, my brother David Fairbrother also went there. I found this web site by accident. My brother is still in Warrington and owns Fairbrothers buses. I have lived in many places. At the moment I am in Gilbert Arizona. I have two Daughters 21 & 23 and two grandsons (one surviving) a granddaughter and another on the way. I was a Librarian for 8 years but right now I'm just taking life as it comes. Julie Reagan also lives out in this area and has six children. I have so many fond memories, Knocker Norris, Beryl Lightfoot, Phil Bibby..the list goes on. It would be great to hear what people are up to. I just spent Christmas there with my mum and dad, they are still on South Ave. Hopefully I'll be back this summer 2005. |

I wonder how many other teachers and students are still around. I've lost track of what is going on in Warrington as I moved to the States many years ago. Good times. |

Great web site! A lot of good and bad memories, as any kid trying to make it. All I can say is that Knocker scared the crap out of me but I respected him. Bibby was cool as was Hoyle. I could only look up to Kevin the runner as I watched him run through town on weekends. Gus O`Rourke was the the biggest bully going and deserved his ass kicked many times over and I had a small crush on Sue Potter! |
