I remember the long tables in the function room at the Corrie, and the crowds in there at weekends for bingo and the cabaret. My friend Rich Moule lived next door to the Corrie at one time, I remember playing games in his back bedroom.
I later played football for the Corrie, and there would be a group of us in their often on a Saturday night. Phil Host, Al Harwood, Dave Newton, Harry Stephenson, Pete Johnson, and others. |

Quite by chance I came across a Bill French on Facebook, as he is a friend of Mick Irwin, who lived opposite the Sandpits Garage, it could be the same one.
It was in a group called A Coventry Kid am I (sic) |

Just wondered whether anyone remembers anything of it. I have a few names - Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Wood, and Mrs. Westgarth the headmistress. Some of the kids; John Worthington, Beverly Redding, Elaine Westgarth, Frankie French, Michael Urwin, Paul Taylor, Gary Mabbett? Would be great to hear from anyone who might have any memories circa early sixties. Great site, thank you for opportunity to post.  Question |

Hello Rex, I think I might be a few years older than you, attended Keresley County Infants, circa 1961-1964. Originally lived in prefabs in Halford Lane, then moved to Lowe Road when I was about six. I remember a lot of names you mention, you've really stirred some memories, happy days! Best regards, Liz (nee Cramp).
