Class photograph sent by Jim McDonald's sister Bab's. Extract from
Bab's letter....
"...Jim went on to Rivvy and when he left school he worked in the
Co-op in Nuneaton St for a while. He went to London when he was 18 yrs
old and he is now settled in Devon.
The family lived in Mordaunt Street in a single-end, there was six weans
and my Ma & Da, Jimmy & Barbara McDonald. My Da died in 1977 but my mother still lives in Brigton, I
don't think she could ever leave.
I think your website is brilliant it brings back so many memories......
