| THESE 4 COLOR PHOTOS WHERE TAKEN BY JOHN ).CONNER who was a pupil at the school from 1935 till 1945 he gave the photo,s has a gift to Marie hildyard who was also a pupil at the school from 1949 t0 1959. Marie has given us her kind permission to show them on the site however she keeps all copyrights of these photos | The photo,s below where set in by Marie Hildyard how many of you remember going to the sweet shop in St Marys street. or crossing the pipes over the drain in the distance you can just see the play ground where we would spend dinner times and play times |
 front of church photo sent in by Jackie Brady |  |
 |  The drain has now been filled in and it is now a public foot path so no more boot lace eels only the heels of many a shoe |
 the boys club has long since gone , no trace of it at all |  gone is the school is no sign it was there |
 |  only cars now stand where our school stood |
 |  no swings or monkey bars the dobby horse has long since gone.the shamrock been replace with trees |
 When l saw the statue in the new church l was close to tears how l remember HER always looking down on us has we prayed, l was so Happy to she her standing there yet at the same time l was saddened because l felt she was standing in the wrong place, In my mind OUR LADY should be moved from the corner where she is now and put back in all her glory near the alter at the front of the church has she was in the old St Marys |  This is how the statue of St Mary should be looking down on the children going to receive their Communion not at the back of the church but that is only my view. |
 ST MARY, QUEEN OF MARTYRS, HULL The successor to ST MARY'S Wilton Street .the new church at Bransholme was built in 1976 |  The FONT of ST MARYS Wilton Street is now used at the St Mary Queen of Martyrs church |
 ST MARY QUEEN OF MARTYRS RC PRIMARY SCHOOL |   |

It was nice to see photo's of the church again, I could even envisage myself walking through the doors making the sign of the cross with the Holy water, then entering into the church. Always use to put a halfpenny into the box and light a candle for my mum (she died when I was 10 months old) It was such a beautiful church inside. I went to St Mary Queen of Martyrs a few times when my 2 sisters children were christened, it just didn't feel like a church to me, and the statue of Our Blessed Lady totally looked out of place. I wonder what happened to the other statues from our church. as they are not at the new St Mary's.
