Brierton Hill Technical High School for Girls opened in September 1961 and this shows it under construction around 1960. The builders were local company Yuill's.

Most of the school buildings have now been demolished. 

Girls from Brierton Hill school collecting conkers alongside the stream in Carlton village in autumn 1968. The girl in the centre with the white hair band is Janice Peek (now Janice Lambourne).

Taken looking up Brierton Lane, the school which is now demolished was at the western point of Owton Manor/Rift House estates.

This photograph is looking up Callendar Road (west) towards Catcote Road, to the right of the construction was the Red Admiral Pub, maybe behind the school annexe?

The wooden building on the right was part of Rossmere School.
The flats are up Wynyard Road in the background.

Photograph taken near to where they eventually built St Teresa's School,
the rough land at the front of the photo was a cut through (old tip) to Rossmere Way, now a walkway through to Rossmere Way.

The image taken in the late 1960s shows Avril McLeod in blue and Sheila Duncan.

In the main dining room at Carlton, the girls are obviously studying some sort of rocks or leaves ? There appear to also be boys on the image? It is customary for two schools to share the accommodation at Carlton so this could be the reason.

Taken in the late 1960s, the school collected food items to be taken out around the area to old people. Girls are currently unknown, but the parcels indicate pre 'tea bag' days as  there are packets of Typhoo and Brooke Bond tea evident !
