My sister attended this school in the early fifties. I presume it no longer exists, but if anyone has any information or could lead me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. |

I went there in the early 50's. The building is still there (I think), but it isn't a school now. |

SunnyBank, as you knew it closed, was later bought ( about 20 years ago I think) and re opened as a nursery school. Not a great success and it closed for the final time, not much later. Did your sister attend at the same time as Pat Alston or Simon Newton?? |

I don't recognise those names Hannah, I was there for about three years. |

My sisters name was Penelope Jane Taylor(always known as Jane.) We lived up Hollin Hill and our father was a dentist. |

What year was she born? I was born in 1946, would she have been in the same year? |

Guess what? my sister was born in 1946 as well, so you were probably in close proximity!! |

The name doesn't ring a bell. I remember our classroom was upstairs at the front, and it had a bay window. I also remember having elocution lessons at lunch time, and making stables out of shoe boxes on the floor. There was a rocking horse somewhere, that I remember..... and having games in the park. |

 I like that thought Gloria, must remember it,  sorry about the pun, I know everything is stored away, it's retrieving at the right time, not 4 hours after when no one knows what I'm talking about, that is the problem.

If you want revisit Sunny Bank it is at 171/173 Manchester Road, now a rather smart building which is either apartments or offices. |
