burton street was the school just past the chapel up bamforth street...you probably went to that one on clubmill road...the hightlight of my week was when my brother pushed me in the barrow to the gasworks to fetch the coke....i can always remember that hissing sound when you went in and how the sulphur would sting your eyes...it was great going in the barrow ..not so great coming back falling off the top of the coke..

burton street school is reached by going up bamforth street..turn right at the chapel...which is now a woodwork shop called donald foxes i think...then turn left..its the school where the full monty was filmed

When did you live at Anlaby Street

about half way down on the left hand side opposite the shop...number 39

I went to burton street school back i the early eighties, when it was run by the late, lamented Shirecliffe College, (as was) as a music and drama centre,. I did my drama diploma course there. (with the odd course at Salmon Pastures, and another at the main Shirecliffe centre)

Do you remember the Housley's

its now got its own website..the burton street project i think they call it...with old photos of places long gone...all designed to bring a tear to the eye and a gulp to the throat..gulp!!...in fact i can see out house on one of them through all the smoke from the gasworks and andrews toledoers...ahh those were the days..i didnt count sheep at night...i counted the hammer machine knocks at daniel doncasters

i dont remember the housleys no...i remember a lad called trevor friendship..another called graham challenger and a family by the name of siddalls...maureen i think they called the daughter...i didnt live there long but my brother did..kenneth taylor..his real name was walter but he didnt like that name so he called himself kenneth

Didn't this school become some sort of music centre? I know where the site was and went there late 70's for trombone lessons.

how do you put photos on this

Yes. sorry PT. Just recalled it being named Langsett Music Centre and I believe wind bands and maybe Sheffield Youth Orchestra rehearsed there. I think the head was Mr.Greenlees and I think it is where the perapatetic tutors who came to schools, had their base?

that sounds about right, chairboy. I seem to remember that one section was for peripatetics, and there was another building, soleley used by we drama students.

I used to go to Burton Street school and I lived at number 64 Burton Street. I was only about 8 or so and dont remember too much. Got a surprise to see the old school in Full Monty.:o

must have been same time as me 46 cant say i cared too much for that school:mad: :mad: :mad:

My dad (Peter King) was at Burton St School for about 6 months in 1942 before leaving to go to Netheredge. He says the headmaster was called Mr. Bastin. There was also a Mr. Horton. Did you live near Burton Street? Maybe you remember some of the people he knew. Do you know any of these names : Frank Hall, Brian Rennie, Jimmy Williams, Jacky Haycaster, Ian Goodison, Brenda Crownshaw,Mavis Clifford, Brenda Shephard, Dougie Paxton. Or maybe someone remembers my dads brothers who are a little younger than him - David and Paul King

no i dont remember those names....i went to that school in 1951...maybe your dads younger brothers remember kenneth taylor..graham challenger..trevor friendship...tony proctor

........and jeffrey taylor...who lived at that house with the big entry corner of bamforth street and penistone road.....does your dad remember walter taylor who workedf at daniel doncasters...he was about same age....walter had a bad accident at the works...something fell off the crane track as he was walking past..it hit him on the head and eventually the pain sent him mad...he killed himself about 1948

Have you all looked at www.burtonstreethistory.org.uk ?

have to stretch my memory to the limit,but i seem to think on the corner Bamforth &Penistone there was a sm factory I lived 511 Penistone which was about 12 house's in fm Bamforth a lot of the Monfredie's lived in the 1st yard we lived in the 2nd ,The only name i remember fm Burton st was the Bergeon;s but I could have the wrong spelling my 1st love would be Laura Bergeon lived in one of those st's off of penistone she would be a young chick of 72 by now.

........and jeffrey taylor...who lived at that house with the big entry corner of bamforth street and penistone road.....does your dad remember walter taylor who workedf at daniel doncasters...he was about same age....walter had a bad accident at the works...something fell off the crane track as he was walking past..it hit him on the head and eventually the pain sent him mad...he killed himself about 1948
I'll certainly ask my surviving uncle (Paul) about the names. Thanks! My Uncle Paul has only just retired from Doncasters and his dad, My Grandad worked there for many years before him. I will ask my uncle if he knew of or has heard of Walter Taylor. Thanks for replying.

That would be Laura Burgoyne, later Raybould.

Her's a photo of her cousins Roy and Brian

My family lived on Bamforth Street until 1955. We had a shop just below Robsons Yard. We were 3 brothers. We went to Burton Street School which was really called Langsett Road Secondary School. I left in 1948 to go City Grammar. Jimmy Williams was my cousin and lived in High House Road. Ian Goodison and Mavis Clifford lived in Burton Street. They were all 6 years older than me the same age as my elder brother. I think you mean Jackie Acaster who also lived on Bamforth Street. The house next to the big entry on Penistone Road was the Pawn Shop known as "Poppy Hallams".

Yeah Jackie Acaster - he was a club turn when he grew up. My dad lived in both Burton Street and Bamforth street at different times, growing up.

Didn't this school become some sort of music centre? I know where the site was and went there late 70's for trombone lessons.

my brother went to burton st school his name was daryl rogerson we also knew graham challenger.

my brother went to burton st school his name was daryl rogerson we also knew graham challenger.

We used to live next door to the Rogerson's, at 149 Cuthbert Bank Rd, from about 1950 up until moving in 1958 (Didn't you move to somewhere near Hillsbro' Park?) I also went to Langsett Rd (Burton St.) school from 1953 to 1958.

I have recently returned to have a look at the Burton St. Project, there are some interesting photos in their archive, you can also see it on the web :)

i used to live in the next yard to burton street school in the early 70s when the houses were still up the full monty was filmed outside burton street school i tried to guess where abouts my house would be but it was difficult because of different camera angles

My dad went to Burton Street School, he was called Graham Lister. Also Christine Wright went there and her brothers and sisters I think.:)

surely somebody on here lived round there before they demolished the houses

And I'm pretty sure Kevin Marlow went there aswell

My Dad Bob Eccles lived at 105 Burton Street and went to the school from 1953 - 1962. He remembers many of those mentioned and we would like to access photos etc but the website that is cited regarding the history is no longer working. Can people help us access photos? Does anyone remember him - he is always talking about it! The head teacher was Bert Smith

I used to fancy your dad. I lived in Fawley road and my mum used to make tea and toast for the lads on the white wall. My mother went up to school once and gave a teacher a mouthful for giving our class detention and Graham stood at the door cheering her on. Someone told me your dad has passed. If so I am sorry to hear that.

Does anyone remember the Storer family? They lived in one of the terraced houses on the road next to the Barracks pub (cant remember the name ,sorry)and moved when they were demolished in the early 70s. The daughter,Christine was a school friend of mine at Herries Comp ( we left 72) me and other old school friends would love to hear from her.
