The planning application is to demolish the buildings and build a considerable number of houses (about 66) on the site.

The planning application can be seen here_ _ _

Hi Rita Swaine
I was at St Leonard's at the same time as you. My name back then was
Ann Barton_ _ __ _ _ I remember
Maureen Holman whose nickname was Woozie I think. She was always so kind to me when I first arrived. There was also someone whose name was Barbara. The names of the nuns are all very familiar to me and I remember them as all being very kindly.
Regards
Ann Newman (Barton)

Hello Ann Newman (Barton)
I was at St. Vincent's OA from 1952/56 and I was so surprised to see my name mentioned in your post. Thank you for your lovely comment and I'm glad I was kind to you! I'm not sure who gave me the nickname of Woozy, but it certainly stuck for the time I was there, and I even had a few letters after I left addressed to 'Dear Woozy'. I have happy memories of my years at the school and it would be nice to reminisce with you (and anyone else who was there at this time) so I hope you read this and reply. I remember many of the staff and Sisters of Charity, and I used to help Sister Angela in the clinic - mainly collecting the children and taking then backwards and forwards to be weighed. I was sad to read on this forum that the building is going to be demolished (perhaps it already has) - I shall look at the link later.
Best wishes to you, and all the other residents/patients that went to St.Vincent's OA School.

I went to St Vincent school from 1981 - 1986 . I must admit I didn't like it there and could not wait to leave. But I did have some fun times with friends. I heard it had been demolished. Shame I would have loved to take my children there to see it!

Hello Ann Barton (Newman)
This is a long shot that this reaches you, as I am finding this Website hard to navigate and to find where I should reply. Maybe one of the admin staff will see this and help forward to you.
I was so surprised to see my name being mentioned, as I am (was) Maureen Holman, also for reasons I cannot recall, called Woozy by everyone at St. Saviours. It would be nice to be in contact so we can reminisce.
I hope this finds you well, and thank you for your lovely comment.
Best wishes, Maureen
