tracing old school photographs

[sweepy]

where will I find old school photographs taken at St Edwards RC school, Windmill Street Runcorn. 1960's - 1970's. We had group photos taken and I would love to trace some of them?

Why not try the school itself. If they were official school photographs I would imagine the school would keep a copy for their records. If the school has been demolished I would imagine their records have been transferred elsewhere for safekeeping. It would be very unusual for this type of thing not to be kept. I was at school in the 40's and 50's and their photographs are still to be seen on request.

Unless you're very lucky, you won't find these pictures on the web. Waimarie's suggestion sounds the best one. It seems that the school still exists but may have moved buildings. If you're no longer in the Runcorn area, you can write to the school at this address:
St Edward's Catholic Primary School,
Wivern Place,
Runcorn,
Cheshire,
WA7 1RZ.
(Phone: [phone]).

You could also try to contact other former pupils (or staff), who might have copies of these photographs, through Friends Reunited:

You might also be able to get one of the local newspapers to publish a letter asking if anyone could lend you their photograph(s). The regional titles, the Liverpool Daily Post and the Liverpool Echo, are both at
PO Box 48,
Old Hall Street,
Liverpool,
L69 3EB.

The Runcorn Weekly News is here:

Good luck!
