Hi there anybody on this forum use to go to jordanthorpe secondry modern school from 1965 - 1969 and did anybody live on lowedges from the same time ?

:thumbsup:
I was there at Jordanthorpe from 1962 to 1966.
Adams was headmaster then, Rooks deputy head.My form teachers as I moved through were Biggin, Copley, Sibley and Wragg.

Jim Kirkwood (music)
Walker (RI)
Thompson (Science)
Hauley (games)
Newton(games)
Chapman (german)
I lived on Lowedges too till the 70s when I got married.

mr roberts (english)
mr such ( maths)
mr sibley ( library)
mr wilson (art)
mr Bagley (sience)
mr gibbs (metal work)
mr helliwell(woodwork)
mr wragg ( sience )
mr white ( english)
mr hawthorne ( pe )
miss waite or titty waite ( music ) cant remember the others I had some good times when I was there and some bad ones as well.so you lived on lowedges then you will remember the magpie pub then and the grennel moor then I use to live at the back of the magpie pub in the masionettes I wonder if you knew david greaves and john greaves there mum and dad was deaf.

I went to Jordanthorpe from 1967 -1971. lived on Jordanthorpe though.

Can remember Mr Helliwell very well , small chubby bloke ,tried to teach us girls woodwork. An experience i am sure he never forgot:D

I remember a lot of people from Lowedeges who i went to Jordanthorpe with ( boys& girls). Memories of some very happy times eh:banana:

hi

does anyone remember Kim Harrison who I think went to Jordanthorpe aboy 1968 - 1973?

She lived on Shoreham Street.

Obviously if you know her - pm me and I will give u details so u can tell her who it is who wants to know before I get to findout - if you know what i mean

(Repeat of earlier postings....)
P.J. Adams was head if I remember correctly - a magistrate or JP to boot....
A French teacher (Dave Jessop) and my personal favourite, "Chalky" White, English teacher.
Great bloke - had a thing about all his pupils being able to spell "immediately" correctly......Strange the things you remember!
Also (in my time anyway) a Mr.Sibley, who looked after the library....also liked hiking with a huge rucksack. Often saw him wandering along Pinstone Street, waiting for a bus to take him to Matlock or wherever.....
Also Jeff (Geoff?) Smith, maths teacher.....
and Mr.Walker, R.I. teacher.....
All retired/dead now, I guess...
I left in 67 or 68 - to help you zero in, I was in Ray Ashcroft's class - he went on to appear in The Bill, Corrie, etc.....
...and was it Mr.Wilson (art teacher) who was also known as "Peanut", by virtue of head shape and....er....lack of locks?
I bet the 'boys' will also remember a fellow pupil, Helen Caunt, a stunning looking lass even in her early teens. Went on to appear in Playboy (or Men Only) and eventually joined some band...Had moderate success (in the US) with a version of 'Wild Thing'....
Wish she'd been a wild thing with me.....

whoa riffraff, so you knew my fellow teachers I use to be in MR such's class my fellow mates was ronnie bradshaw,pete bradshaw,richard street,philip knight,phil hydes, gary mills,john tate, or spud as he use to be called, frankie warren,paul ellis,bobby locket,brian ducker,mick degney. MR helliwell use to throw the black board rubber at you if he caught you talking in class and MR wilson or peanut wilson as is nickname was had not many locks on his head.can anybody remember MR wragg he use to smack the back of your hand with a ruler or across the knuckles cant remember who the music teacher was only that we had to learn the full music of the 1812 overture. yes MR addams was a judge or magastrate I can remember him sitting in the juvenile court when I got caught knicking apples as I was at school he didnt recognise me until the following day when I was walking down the corridor he pulled me up and said you boy did I see you in court yesterday yes sir came my reply my office now all i got was a good talking too. I have never knicked anything else since. happy days at jordanthorpe school.

Sorry, Bigkev : your classmates' names don't ring any bells....but
I've tried to recall a few others....
Mr.Haythorn (?) - History
Was Mr.Wragg the Asst.Head?
If so, I remember him being very critical of lads coming to school wearing fur-trimmed parkas....He called them "monkey boys", and went on to give us a lecture (this was at assembly) about fashions. I recall him saying that "mark my words, Oxford bags will come round again....."
There was barely-muffled sniggering at this remark, and he went spare....
The Jthorpe girls' school was still at the bottom field at this time (don't know when they amalgamated) but the wire fence that separated the two schools wasn't up to much!
But Helen Caunt...........Oh........!
If you were lucky, you could hang around the gates and catch her walking (nay, gliding!) up Dyche Lane.....

Sorry - got sidetracked!
Other class mates that I remember :
Ian Bott : Martin Havenhand : Pete and John Fox (twins) : David Higginbotham : John Coupe : Dave O'Brien : Ian Corker : Max Clark.....
Others will come back to me, I'm sure....

Hey guy's, my sister lived with John Tate, and they had a son ,and allthough they split up i do know where John is and how he can be contacted.

The schools amalgamated in 1969, and i remember that every time they mended that mesh fence separating the 2 schools the lads just cut it down again.

hey up. now that name john tate he was in the same form as me we use to call him by his nick name spud tate I havent seen him since I left jordanthorpe school in 1969 I wonder what he looks like now? dont think I would recognise him if I saw him now he use to live down frazer road when he was at school he was big mates with bobby locket and ronnie bradshaw. oh to see my old school mates mind you there is one I wont be able to see not now as he is dead or so I have been told and that is derek burnand he use to live on lowedges when he was younger he burnt down the laundrett that was at the shops where the grennel moor pub is. I shall have to have a venture back up there and see if anything as changed I moved on to lowedges in 1958 and left lowedges in 1970. well topham road that is had some good mates who I grew up with on topham road.

Spud is now fat (still got red hair ,going bald with it ). Still lives in the land of Walter Mitty. Do you remember the other woodseats lads, glen wright, holloway twins, mick biggin,mick cooper, the crookes twins.

Hey what about bob bowler from lowedges & the brothwells & bartholemew's. Loads more i remember as well.

Lowedges park, rowlinson youth club, the lido at millhouses, the fair that came to norton every summer.

They were fantastic times, and i have often run in to the people i went to school with. Some of them live near me & we are still friends now.

yes I can remember the holloway twins as for the others not too sure all though mick biggin name rings a bell didnt they move on to lowedges just up from the grennel moor pub.oh and I know bob bowler he use to go out with a friend of mines sister in fact I think they got married my mate was called steve turner his mum use to work at the white hart pub up in grennel village. I bet a lot of them as changed now either going bald or put on some weight. when I left lowedges I use to go up to woodseats quite a lot and go and see my dad he use to play the piano in the chantry pub.can you remeber a guy called frankie warren he lived on batemoor a lot of my school mates I cant think what they call them I can remember some of them though richard street,gary miles,philip hydes,paul tomkinson, or herman is nickname use to be then there was steven wain,jimmy wain,and some of the girls I use to know mary jackson,pat bramall,susan swift,joan greaves,linda furnace,elizebeth harwood,and others who I cant name can see there faces now old age is creeping up on me.

Try some punctuation, Bigkev - your messages would be a lot easier to read!
Didn't Chalky White teach you anything??!!

yeah not a lot couldnt be bothered just was glad to leave school mind you the only thing I was interested in was metal work. every other subject wasnt bothered about this is what I like about this forum you are always quick off the mark to point out the mistakes what someone makes, we cant all be top of the class can we if I wasnt feeling so low I would tell you what to do with yourself, do you take great pleasure in pointing out the mistakes what people make. there you are there is full stops and commers in, happy now ?

Whoa!
Don't take it so hard!
Case closed, methinks....

hey riffraff, sorry about the last thread it is just that I am now suffering my cold turkey spell as started and my craving for a beer is getting worse. I have got to suffer now for at least 2 weeks hence thats why I was really low yesterday. didnt mean to say them things to you but if you have never been in this situation then you wont know what it is like, it is sheer hell and everybody normally cops it when I am down like this. but thats the joy of being an alcoholic so sorry for yesterdays out burst. what I normally do is not talk to anybody or even write I just lock myself away and in a short time things start to pick up and I am my normal self again. so as I said please forgive my out burst I am not normally like this.

Hey I've been there Kev stick with it, it's worth the effort mate. You want or need to chat anytime leave me a message. I'm in Canada so we're 8hrs behind you. The time here as I post this is 12.15 lunchtime so it will probably show as posted at 8.15pm.

Bigkev -
You're right - I've never been there.
You're right - I don't want to be there.
You're right - I'll therefore never know what you're going through.
Where you're wrong is that you seem to think that nobody will be on your side and support you...
You've my vote for a start.....
Anybody who can come clean like you have (and apologise to boot) gets my respect...
So, good on you - best of British to you.
Apology accepted, not really required, end of subject....

I used to live on Lowedges road and went to Jordanthorpe school in the 70s. The french teacher was always seemingly drunk, and the history teacher could be advised what mark to give for homework. There was a group of older lads from the "terminus" bit of Lowedges that formed a band and always sang "Have you ever been to Stoke on Trent i dont know, have you ever been to Stoke on Trent i dont think so!" on the back of the late bus from town. Does anyone remember them?

:blush: sorry the last post supposidly from OWL74 about Jordanthorpe was by GLITTERBUG i was looking at the forum on his screen and replied from there. Sorry for being a twit

hi did anyone know any of the "Harrods" fromBradway that went to jordanthorpe around the 70's?

Don't know if you are still interested in Ian. I have only just found this site. I am married to Ian's sister Sue. At this moment he is living at old whittington, Chesterfield. As an extra note some people may be sad to know that Jordanthorpe school, both north and south buildings have just been flattened and a new building erected in the middle. ratbasher.

The new building reminds me of a prison - no character at all :(

jordanthorpe secondry modern school
After coming down from Scotland in 1956, I was at Jordanthorpe 1957 - 1963.

Head and deputy head: messrs. Adams and Rookes
French language: chalkie White
Sports: 'Hawkeye' - Newton? Hawthorne?

At age 15, we sat RSA examinations and the following year, GCE O levels, for those who wanted to stay on.

Living in Norton Lane, most people I knew were in Greenhill and Woodseats. My social loop included Bob Grimbley, Donald Corbey, Peter Wragg, Don White, Dave Jenkinson, Stuart Stenton, Angela Brindley. We got up to all sorts of mischief in the fomer aerodrome and the former prisoner of war camp.

Obviously if you know her - pm me and I will give u details so u can tell her who it is who wants to know before I get to findout - if you know what i mean

didn't she used to be glenn froggatts girlfriend ? last saw her about ten years ago .

I attended Jordanthorpe the first year it became a comprehensive - Sept 1969. Miss Prebble was head then and scared us all to death by turning up to the first assembly in her university gown! We had to commute between the North and South buildings and it was not fun in the depths of winter scurrying up and down the path that ran parallel to Dyches Lane. Does anyone remember the art teacher that drove the bubble car? I also remember with great affection Mr White and Mr Grenville. What about the over the top music teacher Miss Wood? I enjoyed school, so how come I left with the minimum of qualifiactions and had to go back to school when I was 40 to get a good job? My primary school was Lowedges but I remember it being Bradway County when I first went there. I grew up on the Lowedges (Lowedges Drive and Lupton Road) and still go back regularly. It is so sad to see the way it has gone down hill. I dont remember it being that way at all.

Wow, I was searching the net and found this forum, used to go to Jordanthorpe, left at 16 in 1973, thanks for the memories, Chalky White was a blast, any one remember the female art teacher blond tall, taught around 1969, she sed to pull your hair next to your ear if you misbehaved.
I lived at Ormond Rd jordanthorpe, does anyone know of these people:
Andy Sissons
Dave Stepniak
Mark Coe
Vicki Stanley
Lorraine Stanley
Best of health, Roger Turney

Just found this thread - happy days.

I should have started Jordanthorpe in '69 but was in hospital so I didn't start until '70. As I'd missed a year I was held back and had to work my way up to the second year. I remember walking across the field between both buildings before they built the path - it was horrible in winter especially when the field had been churned up by the football/rugby/hockey etc teams. I also remember Miss Wood. I was in the group with no sense of music so she used to play her classical LPs - I still love Peer Gynt, Fingal's Cave and The Plants Suite. I remember Mr Biggin and the trip to see the Tutenkahmum exhibition in London. I also remember cookery and the meal I had to cook for the staff - toad in the hole followed by pineapple upside down pudding with custard. Never got anywhere with sewing although I do remember the sewing teacher making us observe the two minute silence one November 11th. The memories are flooding back - the drama teacher Mr Beech gave the class some fencing epees one day, luckily it was a bloodless lesson. Then there was the school production of 'The Mikado'. Other teachers - Mr Grenville, Miss Castledine (I think she married the RE teacher), Mr Stocks, Mr Porter, the biology teacher who added to human biology as she was pregnant at the time, the teacher who I thought looked like the actor Darren Nesbit. Of course Miss Prebble and Miss Upperdine. I could drone on and on and on, but I won't.

Remember the days of the old school yard, we used to laugh a lot.

Hi, Just came across this site, I left Jordanthorpe School in 1968 and lost contact with a few of my old pals. If anyone knows any information I'd be interested to know.
My name is Melvyn Bilbey ( I lived in Greenhill ) looking for
Christopher Gebhart
Geoffrey Gillman
David Hadwick
They are the ones that spring to mind. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, left jordanthorpe in 1962, so may be a bit early for you, but a lot of the teachers names ring a bell with me although I am bad with names. Girls school wasn,t ready when I first went there but was opened shortly after. My first year was spent in the annex at greenhill, or was it Bradway. Told you I was ad with names. Live in Spain now. Anyone remember my era?

The blond art teacher was called Miss Nicel. She was still there in 1970 when I started and left about 1972 to take a post in Wakefield.

Do you remember the Waddingtons? I'm sure you and I always found a reason for a scrap way back then!! Hope I havent got the wrong guy. Great days, hope all is well

Patrick Hague off hazlebarrow cres married Jill Gratton your next door neighbour they live in dinnington. Remember Carl who lived next to you ? he had a bad heart, he died a few years back god bless him.

Where have all those years gone ? I am an old grandad now.

Years have flown by Alex. Lot of water gone under the bridge since then. I do remember Carl, nice family, who would have thought Pat and Jill would end up together. Dad enjoyed that job at graves park, I only ever remember catching sticklebacks tho' sadly he passed away in 2002, also a bad heart. Mom went last year with cancer god bless 'em both.

I'm not quite a grandad yet, we have one son Marc aged 23, loves 'em and leaves 'em so to speak, don't think we will hear wedding bells for some time if he has his way. Sign of the times I suppose.

Nice to hear from you mate. If you know the whereabouts of any of the names mentioned give us a bell. Cant send a PM until I've made a few more posts.

Take care buddy

Barry

Hello used to go to school and the Nether Edge Hall for Northerrn Soul with Shawn. Wondered how he was doing. Last saw him around 10 years ago at the Boardwalk watching his pals band play (Dizzy Club). Some of my friends still follow the local Northern scene KGB City Limits etc. But I dont think he,s been seen at those venues. Was told he lived in Barcelona for a while. Seem to remember all my Woodseats pals being at school with your sister.
