Barrowfield PS, corner
of Barrowfield Street and Fraser Street.
The "big yins" gate was in Fraser Street at the van and the "wee wans"
in Barrowfield St.
There was extremely dilapidated tenements surrounding the school and the
"Jannys" hoose was the small building to the left as you enter
through the big yins gate. The school bell was on the wall of the
wee yins and the janny rang it at 8.50 am every school day through pulling
the rope which was kept in a locked wooden box fixed to the wall. The
Church in the background is 'Church House'
Sketch below shows the street names. |

The old school was replaced with this modern version |

First let me congratulate you on an excellent site of an area which
I know very well....I attended
Barrowfield Primary School and Bernard Street. Secondary School I
have already forwarded the website address to relatives in Iowa, USA and
they are also impressed.
