Don't remember when the new school opened as I'm not sure if the one I'm thinking of was it (just before Hawkhill pl.?) If so, it would be the 60's, maybe late sixties. Prior to that St. John's was Moorpark Rd, east.

Of course, you're right, I second guessed myself once I'd posted but was sure someone would set it right!

That's it, Bobby, and the priest's house. In my time it was father, later to be Cannon, Maxwell and his sister, Miss Maxwell was his housekeeper and also the church organist.
