This was our art and craft lesson with Sister Regina. I think this was Junior 2 so around 1962. Notice the boys made buildings while the girls made a doll or did sewing. I’m sitting in the front row on the left. I’m in between my two friends, Linda O Grady and Irena. I (Linda Partington)started at St Mary’s in 1958. I have so many fond memories as a pupil and then later as a teacher. (Mrs Sawyer)

We had competed in the recorder and piano competitions in the Urdd Eisteddfod. Three of us in this picture are now members of staff at St. Joseph’s and at least three of us have our own children now attending St. Mary’s.

St Mary's Catholic Schools Tenter’s Square, Wrexham

Date 1893

Street Tenter's Square (Lea Road)

District/Town Wrexham

County/Country Clwyd, Wales

Architect Edmund Kirby

Work New build

Contractor Benjamin Owen of Wrexham

NEW CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AT WREXHAM - Yesterday the first stone of St. Mary's new Catholic schools at Wrexham was laid by the Earl of Denbigh, on a site near Tenter's Square, containing, with the playground, 4,780 square yards. The new schools are rendered necessary in consequence of the demolition of the old schools during the construction of the Wrexham and Ellesmere railway. A procession to the site was headed by the Bishop of Shrewsbury (the Right Rev. Dr Knight). The schools are being built from plans prepared by Mr Edmund Kirby, of Liverpool, by Mr Benjamin Owen of Wrexham. They will contain accommodation for 320 children, and are estimated to cost about £2.500.

Will cost a lot more now!
