I have pm'd you

Yea.I remember Norfolk school, it was Craddock Rd.school when I started there & changed it's name later.I left in 1957 still got my leaving report ---somewhere.

The name changed from Arbourthorne North County School ( Craddock and Brimmsfield ) to Norfolk in 1954 . Do you remember a teacher by the name of Gerald Nolkes (juniors) ? I understand some of the school still remains standing , is this correct ?

Hi. Well you may be right about the name of the school,but I only ever knew it as Craddock Rd.the only teachers name I can remember is Mr Smith.Sorry but the name you mentioned does'nt mean anything to me.I left school at Christmass 1956

I started doing research on the school a couple of years ago for other reasons . It did take a lot of looking before I found out what the original name was . I few names I remember from the school , Neville Walsh , John Hogan . Pamela Egan , Patricia Wright , any ring a bell ?

Hi. again,No sorry no bells ringing. Re your previous post,half of which I forgot to answer.I don't know whether there are parts of the old school still standing, but I go up that way on Wednesdays,and I'll go and have a look next week whilst I'm passing,might bring back a few old mems.Just had another look at my leaving report,it says I left on the 20th Dec 1956 and was signed by the then Headteacher S North,does'nt say whether Mr or Mrs and I can't remember (senior moment I'm sure)

The heads name that I have is Marion Gagan , but she was in the junior building . I assume your talking seniors here . I did go back and look through my notes and I do have a " Henry Smith " listed as a teacher in the junior school , is he the same Smith you mentioned ?

By the way , my last year was 54 (seniors) just before we left for Canada

Don't know really,we never used teachers surnames in those days did we?but yes I was talking seniors.I was just 15 then and it's all a bit of a blurr now,(50 years ago).Where did all the years go?

Hi.all Norfolk School oldies,well I've just been past the old place today wed.22/11/2006 and what a change,the junior bit at the bottom of Craddock Rd.has all gone as has been reported allready,but the playing field is still there,in a very uncared for state,with one solitary horse grazing away in the middle of it and the tennis courts appear to have survived in an allmost derelict condition,the prefabricated classrooms just below the playground are no more.At the top of Craddock Rd. at its junction with Brimmesfield Rd. there is now a small housing complex of about 30ish new houses (on the area once occupied by the hall & headmasters office)The only parts still standing as far as I could see are the caretakers house on Craddock Rd. and the seperate school building further down Brimmesfield Rd.more or less on the corner of Spring Lane,which is still in use and now occupied by "Spring Lane College"

the prefabricated classrooms just below the playground are no more."

those 'annex' as we called them were pulled down when i was there sometime between 1986 & 1990 and tarmacced over. the school on spring lane was the middle (junior) school. i thought it was now a school for unruly children.

i pass it every day on the tram and see that poor shire horse in the field in all weathers. twas much better int owden days ;)
