Description:Keith Whitehouse progressed from Mary Street School to St Alban's C of E in Highgate (1964) to continue his education, and found a similar peaceful atmosphere conductive learning he had experienced in Mary Street. He travelled between his home and the school by bus, using red plastic tokens that were issued to travelling kids in those days.
As he got older and more independent Keith attended the Sunday school at the top of Knutsford Street, on the corner with Wenman Street. He admits, “To be honest, we went there as much for the tea and biscuits as we did for the religious element. The leaders were a great bunch of people and after players and singing we would sit and talk about life in general, and I learned things that have stayed with me ever since”.
