My first memories of St Marks seem to be of Mrs Scrogg I remember
we had Plasticine to play with , some kids obviously ate it being
Infants. We also had a small cardboard shop. We had plastic money
and we had to sell tiny cardboard copies of everyday groceries and
reckon up the change , it was a bit too much for most Infants to
cope with. Colin Anforth Class of 1960

St Marks Nursery
Circa 1968
The thing I remember at school is the little beds they used
to make us have a nap on in the afternoons, I also remember
a dinner lady making me eat custard then when I was sick all
over the dinner table she sent me to the head, she said I forced
myself to be sick, I still can't eat custard. Ellen Flynn Class of 1969
When I was about 2-3 years old, on a couple of occasions at
least, Miss Booth, or one of her assistants, took me to the
inside infant toilets and put soap in my mouth for talking when
I should have been asleep on the camp beds in the nursery. Hindle Gregory Class of 1952
I vividly remember playing like this, looks like some of the equipment
hadn't change much either. David site author
