I had to go to this school age 14 yrs due to rorganising of the education system, I hated it, I could not wait to leave, even though I was the first Head Girl, with Philip Farman as Head Boy, the teachers stood on platforms and one evil one used to throw the board rubber at the pupils, it should have been closed years ago..ugh.

I was a pupil at Ellerby Lane from about 1941, when Richmond Hill School got hit by a stick of bombs, to about 1945 when I went off to Leeds Central High. I hold Mr Chuck Holmes and Mr Banwell in high respect as teachers who were devoted to teaching and learning. The flat roof red brick building on the left was, I think, an air raid shelter

I attended this little school from 1941 through to 1948. I loved being there. My first school was Richmond Hill and I was so distressed when it was hit by a bomb in 1941. There had been such a great jungle-gym in the hall. I did not want to transfer to a new school but Ellerby Lane worked its magic on me. The headmaster was Mr Wood but I remember Mr North most of all, he was so kind and such a great teacher. Together with Sheila Hainsworth I went off quite happily to Lawnswood High School but Ellerby Lane is still in my memory. Living overseas now so I hate to think that my school is not right where I left it.

I attended this school from about 1953 to 1956, before moving to the then, eutopia known as Seacroft! I remember being very happy here. I remember (please excuse this VERY 'un' PC term ) Little Black Sambo, a little money box which was carried around the school on a Monday morning to collect school funds. I remember Cod Liver Oil and having a little sleep mid morning. Does anyone else remember the day the Shire Horses ran away whilst delivering the beer to the local pub, or the cement factory being on fire and us kids being evacuated? Happy Days
