JUMP UP QUICKLY, YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL

Early last century, many children as far away as Ewloe Green walked along the mineral line to Etna Road. And the adjacent Saint Matthew's schools.

This often coincided with a passing brick train. Old scholars often related how the obliging driver would stop momentarily in order to give them a welcome lift to school.
