In June 1953 the pupils at Mersey Park joined many other people across the country in celebrating the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1953 the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was celebrated right across the country – as this extract from the logbook states school was closed for 3 days as part of the celebrations. When the children returned to school they were each given a celebration “Coronation Mug”. I wonder if anyone still has theirs?

In 1961 this class photograph was taken. We believe the teacher (in the middle of the photograph) is Mr. Eric Parkinson. If you recognise anyone in the photograph please let us know!
