a lovely photo from Mandy Cockram of an early 1950s class at Ogley Hay Girls School. The teacher is thought to be Miss Hall.
A couple of great school photos have been donated to the blog by reader Mandy Cockram, whose mother went to Ogley Hay Girls School in Brownhills in the early 1950s.
Not much is known about the two images, other than they both feature Mandy’s mother Maureen Adams and they appear to be of the same group of girls maybe a year or two apart, both with a teacher believed to be called Mss Hall.
Mandy thinks one image is from around 1951-53, and the other around 1952-54. Her mother would have been in her early teens at the time.
Previously I’ve featured an Ogley School staff image and also reader and local historian Andy Dennis has sent me a couple of lovely school group photos featuring his mother, thought to be from the 1936 sports event at Chase Terrace, which was mentioned by Peter ‘Pedro’ Cutler in comments to the same post.
Thanks to Mandy for a couple of great pictures, if you can add anything, please don’t hesitate: comment here please or mail me – BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com.
This appears to be the same group of girls, but older. Recognise anyone? Again, the teacher is thought to be Miss Hall. A great image supplied by Mandy Cockram.

I think I may have left a confusing comment? I posted a photograph a year or two ago and it’s this photograph that appears to involve the same girls and teacher Miss Hall who is wearing a stripped blouse and is far right on the above picture.
The other photo seems to have girls of different ages. Unfortunately mom doesn’t remember anything about it. She is the tallest girl at the back.
Ah, apologies!
Will edit when I get five minutes later
Cheers

I was at Ogley Hay Girls School from 1950-54 the girl on the front row second left looks like Betty Taylor and the girl next to her could be my sister in law Dorothy Frost…..the row behind girl on the left I think is Gladys Bull, then Janet Kendal not sure if I have the right Christian name for her, then is it Sybil Toddington in the middle, can’t put a name to the others, then of cause Miss G.M.Hall in the striped blouse, I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong 🙂

Thank you to the ladies who have commented. The photo was given yo me by Gladys Bull. She was best friends with my mom Maureen Adams throughout their school days. Mom had named the same girls as Wendy. I should have written the names down. I think there may also be Betty Barratt?
Kind regards
