"Webmaister,
I have been "floating" on air since finding
your web-site.
My memories.......walking to Sacred
Heart School from Stamford
Street...What a trek!!!!!
Didn`t matter what the weather..I had to
walk!!! My friends and I used to "scoot" up
the "close" next to the church...every first
Friday, confessions. We didn`t want those in
the church to hear the priest screaming at
us for not going to Sunday Mass. I
noticed the wee "close" in the picture of
the chapel...
At Sacred Heart, the
teacher who really tried to help us,
although at the time, I don`t think I
realized it, was Miss Welsh. I remember how
she used to wear the black cloak??????"

Hello, I am trying to find out a little more
about my mum's school in Bridgeton. She said she
was at Sacred Heart School, but I don't know if
this was a primary school with an Advanced
Division, or a Junior Secondary School. From the
photographs it looks as if Sacred Heart was a
Primary School for boys! My mum moved from the
Gorbals after the Blitz in 1941, left school in
1943.
Webmaister:
There were two schools both for boys &
girls; Sacred Heart Primary and Sacred Heart
Junior Secondary (known locally as ‘Pirn
Street’ School)
Thank you so much
for the speedy reply. As soon as I saw Pirn
Street, I knew it was the Junior Secondary. I
am delighted.
My Mum was Teresa Coulter, and
lived at 35 Beechgrove Street. Her
married name was Reilly.
