I don't think she would have attended Holy Trintiy as a pupil. I don't know where else she lived as a child. i don't have any records - only the 1901 census. She lived in Switchback Road while teaching at Holy Trinity

Well I don't really know when she started teaching only that she started at Holy Trinity in 1916. The census in 1901 showed  her occupation as a pupil teacher and she was only 14!!

My guess is that in 1901 she would be working in the school as a pupil teacher but attending training sessions a day or so a week.  Although as she was only 14 she may have been preparing to apply for formal training.

Presumably she was the Ethel May Gilroy registered in Cookham District in the Sept quarter of 1886.  In which case she would probably have been living fairly locally.
It was fairly usual for pupil teachers to start in the school where they were educated.

Yes that's her. She was born in Maidenhead and lived in Queen St as I mentioned before. I would like to find out the school that she attended. I think there was a list of schools in some previous postings.
I did a google search on pupil teacher systems and found out they started in 1846 from the age of 13 so that would fit in.

Dear Abiam
Just noticed photos you have put on site. I was on the photo of 1945. My head is just poking up at the back. Apparently we were at the front with one of my cousins until I kicked up a fuss and had to be taken by my mother to the back Nothings changed I still don't like my photo being taken very much!
I'll have to get that book.
Thanks Ermyntrude

Morning Everyone,
Just got back from 'the old homestead' and we were talking of Tyrells... Grandma tells me it was a row of tiny cottages...
Anyone got a photo?

Also, where did Bridge Road and Bridge Street start/finish.

Bridge Avenue was round by the bus station/cinema. I have an old map, well 1950ish and it doesn't show Bridge Street at all... Any idea's.

 I have a map in the book 'Maidenhead, A History & Celebration' which shows that Bridge Road started around  the river side of the Oldfield Road turning and Bridge Street was the road between that and the High Street

From Maidenhead Bridge to Oldfield Road... Bridge Road.
From Oldfield Road to ... (thinking of 9 High, the sweet shop) Bridge Street finshed at The Crown Huh PH.
Would the Crown of been Number. 1. Bridge Street.

I'm trying to locate 28 Bridge Road, in 1923/4

Looking up towards the town.. on the right.. between The Moor Tavern and The Gardeners Arms was Bromley's baker, Sleath's newsagent, Restuarant, Windsorfridge, numbered between 29-39, Bridge Road. This is in 1960/70.

Hi Lesanne,

Jusr re-reading your post about Tyrell's and I think it must have been more than a row of tiny cottages.  If we are to believe the description below it had it's own pub.  And about 40 units of housing. 

"Tyrrell's Buildings were built in about 1843 as barracks for the Life Guards of Windsor while their barracks were being rebuilt; hence 'The Barracks'. The drunken behaviuor of the soldiers was so bad that a pub was built for them inside the building to keep them out of the town. When they went back to Windsor, Tyrrells Buildings was converted to basic accommodation for the industrious poor - as opposed to the unindustrious poor (old or sick) who lived in the workhouse. It had its own chapel, Providence chapel which came under the parish of St. Mary's. Reform Rd and Waldeck Rd. were built by Charles Butler, also as social housing. The Reform Mission Hall - the tin tabernacle - in Waldeck Rd , built 1903, also came under the parish of St. Mary's. In the 1880's, police would only patrol Tyrrells Buildings, Reform Rd and Waldeck Rd, in twos. Norfolk Park estate and Garden Cottages, the first concrete houses in Maidenhead, were built by James Pearce, son of the Maidenhead benefactor J.D.M Pearce, also as social housing. All these homes disappeared in the 1960/70's, except the Providence chapel which continued until 1987 as a shop in the market; Sainsburies is now on the site.

It would be great if anyone can find a photograph......
