Ah! what a lovely surprise to find the website of my old school...and my how it has grown. I attended the school during the time of Mrs Nicklin, my years being 1946-1949. The second world war had just finished and the country was still subject to food rationing..but I remember the relief of the 'grown ups' that at last it was all over. Eckington was a small quiet village in those days, with about 400 people. | |

What an inspiring website! I live about 300 miles away from Eckington and was eager to see your school. Your photographs and information pages have given me a lovely picture of your school. Thank you. | |

I really enjoyed reading all about the school. My husband was born in Eckington in 1954 and went to the school. His mum and dad were Les and Dot Collins. We live in crewe now. | |

Ah, it doesn't seem long since I was pond monitor of the pond shown in the gallery... I left Eckington School in 1996, and Eckington in 2005, and having a mosey here from university... Looks great! | |

My family is descended, on my mothers side, from a family called Vernon. They lived in Eckington in the first half of the 19th century. One was the village blacksmith (James Vernon) and one was the miller (Thomas Vernon). Does anyone know anything about them? Whereabouts was the mill? Ibelieve there is still a Mill Lane, so that might be a clue. | |

I have discovered that 3 generations of my mothers family lived in Eckington in the 19thC. Your vicar has kindly looked up some information for me at the Church, but has also advised me that no Vernons attended the school after it opened in 1867. My grandfather, born in 1848, would have been too old, but his younger siblings born as late as 1859 and 1861 could have attended but it would appear they did not. | |

Still checking what's going on at Eckington First School all the way from Australia. Looks like the building work is coming on well! We hope you put some new photos on soon. | |

I must have been at the school when Mike was there. Miss Cunliffe, Mr Spode, Mr Haynes and others all saw me through from 1970 to 1976. I'm now a Head of Maths at a secondary school in New Zealand but visit the UK often and love to walk through Eckington on each trip. The journey from Boon Street to School Lane takes nowhere near as long as it used to! | |
