Broughton High School, Salford in 1931 |
|
|
|
Broughton High School for Girls was on Bury New Road. The younger
girls were educated at Broom Lane Preparatory School which was over
the road from Broughton High in a house called 'The Stables'. The
webmistress's mother was a pupil at both Broom Lane and Broughton
High and matriculated from here. She loved this school, despite the
large amounts of homework (nothing has changed in that respect). As
a reminder of what was at home her schoolfriend Lily posted this card
to her in the summer of 1931 when she was on a family holiday in Lllandudno.
My mother was very fortunate to attend the school and be so well educated;
her father had died in 1919 whilst serving in the Army so the education
of both her and her sister was paid for by the Linen Trade. This was
because of the post he would have held if he'd have survived.
