Feb.2007,
Class photograph sent by Jim McDonald's
sister Bab's. Extract from Bab's
letter....
"...Jim went on to Rivvy and when he
left school he worked in the Co-op in
Nuneaton St for a while. He went to London
when he was 18 yrs old and he is now settled
in Devon. The family lived in Mordaunt
Street in a single-end, there was six weans
and my Ma & Da, Jimmy & Barbara
McDonald. My Da died in 1977 but my
mother still lives in Brigton, I don't think
she could ever leave.
I think your website is brilliant it brings
back so many memories......
