COMPLETED - St Margarets School, Gosforth? Newcastle - circa 1937

West Avenue is just off the High Street, more or less opposite the shopping centre. Trinity Church  Hall is on the High Street end.  An extremely tree lined street these days.

I'll pop over and take some pics of it this afternoon, if you'd like. It's only 5 mins away by car

The Orangey one is no 18  and 16 to the right- flat conversion by the look of it.


Stan - your Google view is of No 5

Just remembered that Gosforth was in Castle ward until 1974, when it became part of N upon T. I would think that Northumberland CC might possibly have the records that you want.

I think this is No 28 - now a private school for boys

Wow! Thank you all who have sleuthed this down in hours and even taken photos in situ! The only clue I had was an old exam certificate presented by this school to my late mother. She must have left school just as WW2 started.

Thanks again, clever sleuths!

I know you've marked this as complete but I've just heard from a friend to say that it was Newcastle Central High's junior school before it merged with Church High, This would have been after your mother left. Church High is one of our 'better' schools.

Thanks Gadget, I grew up in Newcastle and if you had a bit of money your children went to
Dame Allans
Central High
Church High
La Sagesse
Royal Grammar School

All private and fee-paying.
