Junction Road / Westgate School

Many of these photographs were contributed by ex teacher and head of Junction Road Junior Boys / Westgate First School, Mr Jim Turner and also his wife who taught at the school with her husband for almost 50 years. A huge thank you goes to them both.

There are so many of these photographs that they had to be put on a page of their own. Many thanks again to Mr & Mrs Turner for letting us use them.

Stainforth YMFC League and Cup winners mid 60s
This team won a league and cup double in the 1960's. On the ball you can make out "Miner", so I reckon YMFC
stands for Yorkshire Miners Football Club. If you know otherwise then please post the details on the forum. Thanks to Bri Turner & Barbara Cox.

Other sports etc.

I was told that this darts team travelled from Stainforth to Blackpool in 1938 and won a trophy there. I think I recognise one or two of the faces, could be from their descendants - do you know any of them? (From Josh Fleck's collection)
