My first school was run by a middle-aged woman called Minnie Turnbull. We used to pay thruppence a week, and the big school at Hallbankgate cost tuppence. Minnie Turnbull had ten pupils, five girls and five boys, so that was half a crown a week, and that was all she had to live on and she had a daughter and a father to support. When free education came into operation, after the summer term Minnie Turnbull had to close down, and we went to the big school.
