Former Bradford pupils from around the world took a trip down memory lane with a visit to their old school - 40 years after they left.

The three pals dropped in on the former Swain House Infant and Junior School, now known as the Muslim girls school Feversham College, after being reunited via the Internet.

Margaret Gray, who still lives in Bradford, was keen to trace her old school friends after losing contact with them when they left the school in 1953.

Mrs Gray, who was known as Margaret Ward at school, said: "After buying a computer last year, my daughter encouraged me to join the Friends Reunited website.

"I went to the Swain House pupils section and found my old friend, known then as Carole Phillips, straightaway."

Mrs Gray, of Emm Lane, discovered her friend had moved to America and was now living in New York.

Her friend's older sister, Yvonne Phillips, had also headed overseas and was settled in Melbourne, Australia.

After emailing each other for more than a year, the trio decided to meet for a return visit to their old school.

Susan Williamson from Feversham College, showed the women around.

"They came and had a quick look around and showed us photos from the Coronation and one from when they had a May Day parade - they were lovely photos," she said.
