Ha hah! do any of you remember the story of the lad that fell down an old shaft in Birley wood and ended up under the Gym in the upper school??? Intrigued, was it true? Mr Robertson was the head, followed by Earnie Wise?

i worked there briefly,as part of the caretaking team in 1980,goddard was always telling the main caretaker to have a word with me,about talking to the 5th year girls,ha hated me the horrible little ****,i got moved to frechville,where the same thing happened,eventually getting the sack,i was the youngest assistant caretaker in sheffield at only 19 year old,so any interest from these young girls wasn,t going to be ignored.

he said a dark one

I was at Thornbridge in the 70's left in 1981, kept in touch with a few whilst at the Poli (now Hallam University) and brief chats from Friends Reunited, otherwise not at all since moving away.
Got a few photo's from the sixth form.

I went to Thornbridge, 76 to 80, and Birley middle and junior before that.
Brought up on the Newstead estate.
Hated school.. but had/have great mates, some I still see/talk to (and knock around with in some cases).. Dave Clayton (year above me - old git), Phil Naylor, Sean Watson, Tony Kay, Andy Bingham, Paul Newman, Mark Fisher, Mark Hayter and the late great Roger Hobson amongst others..
Headmasters.. Snook and then Ernie Wise Goddard
Remember Chalky Rawson, Sooty Mullen, Hawkeye Griffiths, Andy Pack, Billy Wizz Evans, Adolf Fiddler etc etc.. Mrs Pratts lacey bras (I was a sticky teenager - what else was I supposed to look at? the blackboard?)
I remember the scarey caretaker dude, he had an assistant with a hunched back who was a really nice fella as I remember. He once caught us daring each other to go down the metal stairs in the main courtyard bit, we were trying to see the ghost of the cleaning lady who'd fallen in the boilers. He told us she must have been the size of a cat then. In my minds eye the boilers were like something out of Dante's Inferno with sweaty blackened blokes shovelling coal into raging flames.. not a Baxi Brasilia.. oh well.
