Margaret Roadknight - The Girls In Our Town (The Other Newcastle Song)

 


An Australian release from September 1975, I came across the track on a recent download, while listening to the record I thought this could apply to almost any town, in the UK I was in the last year that you could leave school at 15 (1967), the children in the year following all most of them wanted to do was leave school, from the school I attended well over half the pupils left at 15 with no qualifications, after the leaving age was raised to16 it was still the same well over half still left with no qualifications, most of the others left with qualifications and a very few went on to further education, the ones who left without qualifications ended up in the local factories or as shop assistants.
