Goodbye and thank you Mrs Flanagan
I’m very sad to say that Mrs Flanagan is no longer a member of sta , after she decided to
nish her work as a Teaching Assistant at the end of last term. Mrs Flanagan has probably
an unrivalled connection with All Saints, given she attended here herself, as did both of her
children, she joined the sta as a lunchtime organiser, she was member of the PTA and then
a teaching assistant. She supported children from Early Years to Key Stage 2 and will be
sorely missed.
Mrs Flanagan may no longer be a member of sta , but she remains a very much loved
member of the All Saints family. Thank you Mrs Flanagan.
Bradford Colliery
As you may know, I’m not from Manchester originally, so I nd it fascinating to discover more about Newton
Heath and learn more about its rich and important history.
When you look at the Etihad Stadium, the athletics stadium, the tennis centre, the velodrome, the new
indoor arena that is being constructed, it is hard to imagine the hard graft and harsh conditions that were
there before. Read the article here.
I think we should all be proud of Newton Heath, and make sure that its future compares well to its past.
Royal Connections
The period of national mourning ends tomorrow with the funeral of HRH
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Within the many tributes, the word
service appears very often, and with nearly 80 years of service as a
member of the Royal Family, that is not a surprise.
I came across photos and stories of his visits to Manchester over the
years, and it reminded me of newsreels showing previous members of the
royal family visiting Newton Heath. You may be wondering why I would
know about this, but my Great Uncle was killed in an Avro
Manchester bomber (later to become the Avro Lancaster) in 1942,
which was designed in Newton Heath. This visit is by Prince
Philip’s father-in-law, King George VI in 1939. Click here.
There is an online book of condolence for Prince Philip, please
click here if you wish to access it.
