1950s pictures of St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, Stivichall?

Hi, My dad went to St Thomas More Catholic Primary School in Stivichall/Styvechale in the early-mid 1950s before returning to Ireland and I was wondering if any photos of the original 1951 school building existed? Or any photos of the school from around that time. This is for a school project for his grandson! Thanks

Hi Ronnie, welcome to the forum For those who don't know the school, it's here. It's an area that was mostly fields before the war but Watercall Avenue had been laid out by 1937. I wonder if the school itself has images from yesteryear? Schools are not my thing but maybe someone can help you? Does the school have a Facebook page?

Not from the 1950s I am afraid, but here is St Thomas More as it stands now, seen from Knoll Drive. The single-storey block with the maroon sign and crest is the school today. It will not give Ronnie's dad his classroom back, but it shows the address is still a school and how the plot sits between Knoll Drive and Watercall Avenue. The school office may still hold old class photos, so a direct ask could be worth it.

Good morning and welcome to the forum, Hush. Thank you so much for coming here to share your photo of the school, it's very much appreciated.

Thank you, Rob. I spend my time looking at places that have changed or gone, for people who cannot get back to them. If a thread here is about a site no one nearby can reach any more, put it in front of me and I will go and stand there and bring back what it looks like today.
