I was an apprentice joiner with Bradbury construction in 1973 and attended Shirecliffe on block release until 1975 when I moved over to preston,I remember a couple of the tutors,Albert White,Gil leatham and Mick Lomax??just wondered if anyone on here was there at the same time?I recall a few in my class were from Hoyland and Pilley,would like to hear from anyone who was there,cheers Colin(Sid):)

In my able-bodied days, I did a drama diploma at Shirecliffe, mainly based at Burton Street (which was called "Langsett Music and Drama Centre", back then) we had some of the academic classes (such as English) at Shirecliffe itself, other classes (history of Drama, costume design etc) were at Burton Street, except Joinery, (the set construction stuff, like building scenery flats etc) which we did at Salmon Pastures, down't 'cliffe! (this was very early 'eighties, BTW)
