I can recall playing on ten town as a kid on my way to visit family who still lived on the Woodthorpe estate at that time. Although I'd been briefed that it was frequented by a rough lot!
but I survived.
Not bad when you consider that my forebears had escaped the deprivation of the 1920's slum clearances to live on the Woodthorpe estate where each house had it's own toilet.
Admittedly it was on the other side of the porch!

I am wife of Owdlad and I was born & bred on Woodthorpe. I lived on Mosborough Road can remember most of the name mentioned on this site along with many more,Murdocks,Deakins,Coopers to name but a few I spent a very happy childhood in and around the Woodthorpe.

i remember ten town,i used to live up the road from it on holbrook road,went to woodthorpe school any one remember mr sallis,he used to stand on a chair to cane you and always called you a pikehand.whatever that may be....in the winter we used to sledge from st theresas all the way down the field to the spring wood...my first pint was in the high noon pub.years ago but seems like yesterday...cheers..a tyrrell

maybe a bit before your time,i left in 65,your mum and dad might know them,i know nodder road, changed a bit since i was up there, do you remember the police box near the shops? my mate mick renshaw used to live opposite.

Don't think so mate most of my family came from the Manor,43 Fitzhubert Road. Mcloughlin was my Mums maiden name,Ted,Jean,Joan,Betty & the youngest Pete.All hailed from 12 Chadwick Road

hey tosh

my hubby and his family used to live on fitzhubert at no 50 from 1971 to 1975
they came up there from attercliffe

slaters

I lived at 43 Fitzhubert from 1975 to 1977

If i ever went to Skeggy no matter what time of year i saw one of the Underhays .Every time man.

some of them have ther own vans down there now gary fatty steven so thay are down there every weekend

Hey Courtney our Debs has still not come over told you so LOL

Sam are you there talk to U.T.

I remember the ravine at the back of St Theresas School, I can remember the air vents from the pit up on the hill where the then new woodthorpe was built. I think that pigeons were kept up there also as there was a fence erected made all out of doors.
I also remember Pit Hill on Pit lane with the large pond at the foot. The area around the school (which I attended from four years old to fifteen ) was a beautiful place the ravine with its stream was a place of peace.
I wonder what fool decided to fill it all in and make a flat boring view, progress? I dont think so.
We could stand looking over towards Woodthorpe and you could see the fields full of corn and barley, all gone now.
I cant remember the name of the old man that had the orchard just up Pit lane from the school, he was always chasing kids who were after his apples.

Sorry but Im afraid I dont, at that time I was only between twelve and fourteen and I wasnt interested in the things that I hold dear now, like Sheffields old buildings and the areas that I played on when I was at School. I think I have a photo of the Hall in a book I could send it if you havent got one.

Lazarus you asked if my mum was called Mary did you know her.??

I may have got the wrong girl, I think the one I knew was called Margaret and came from Ireland when she was around thirteen years old. Sorry.

my mum and dad both remember mr sallis, getting the stick for having his hands in his pockets when he was cold. does anyone remember the taylors?

Hi, I remember tentown, used to play there all the time. I remember Joe Worral and his dog Blackie, Carl Chapman . I also remember the Underhays and the Weatherstones. Two big families.

Does anyone remember Mr. Lyons at woodthorpe baths.I remember Mr. Sallis he was great.I had a great time growing up in woodthorpe .

i remember mr sallis the dwarf,he had to stand on a seat to cane us,he took his shortcomings out on the kids,his favourite word was pikehand,then there was mr frost headmaster,dont know why but he insisted on wearing a mortar board and cloak,very strange,mr cliff,science teacher and bully,mr knight and hazelwood metal and woodwork teachers,mr cartwright,he was a great teacher,hard but fair

What was Tin Town? Was it the adventure playground in the ravine?

I lived in Richmond but went to Woodthorpe school, both infants' and juniors' between 1944 and 1950 when I went on to grammar school. I can even remember having to sit in the air raid shelters on several occasions. I can remember catching a bus to the infants' at Woodthorpe terminus and it cost a ha'penny. A week's school dinners cost two bob and we had to take a tanner to put in our National Savings Bank book. Ah such sweet memories although, like most other kids, I had no dad for six years as he was away at war in the RAF.

I have looked for old school friends on Friends Reunited but could find none at Woodthorpe although I found several at Nether Edge Grammar.

I remember Mr Lyons at the baths. I also remember the tentown i used to be on there every day from the age of 7. I also remember Carl Chapman, he was my boss until july of last year when he finally retired, but I still keep in touch and he would really like a tentown reunion to catch up with a lot of those who used to go on tentown. He always asks if I still see people and remembers most of the names and nicknames and has a lot of photos from then. If anyone is interested in seeing him again let me know and I will arrange it.

i know freddy deakin as well the underhay was probably roy as he was the same age as freddy. remember wendy morrison she lived just a few doors away from me and pamela i sometimes hung around with her.

with the sound of it you were in the year above me.i think wendy was a year older than me, you probably knew steve wilson, chris thompson, alan nicholson, robert passfield and graham hartley. they all used to hang around together.

Yes I remember all of those people I was in the same year/class

I also went to woodthorpe school and the woodthorpe baths
do you remember mr lions? i was sooooo scared of him:hihi:

i pushed him in the baths after brian phelps (olympic diver )presented me with a cup,i won a few cups that were kept at the back of the hall in woodthorpe school,my mate mick was mr lyons nephew,but he still banned me from the baths for a month

Everyone was frightened of Mr Lyons weren't they. I left Woodthorpe July 1968, I was into 4th year in Sept 68 but left to go to Brook so I could stay one to 5th year and do exams, my class teacher in the 3rd year was Mr Monahan he was a brill teacher. Apart from those already mentioned there was Mr Burgin,Miss Wiles,Mrs Roberts,Mr Mellor,Miss(Ithink)Geldest sad as I am I have all their autographs as well as most of the people in the same year as me.

Yes but once again I am sad because I used to love school so everything the teachers said I listened and took it onboard

he was the geordie one wasnt he ? if it was him,the whole class went on strike because we could not understand a word he said

do you remember mr lions? i was sooooo scared of him:hihi:

I wasnt scared of mr lyons, i actually quite liked the guy he made me laugh

Now now just because you didn't like school No 1 it doesn't mean you have to revert to name calling.

As a new member to the Sheffield Forum, I came across this website accidentally and have throughly enjoyed reading about teachers/pupils from Woodthorpe School. Many names I too remember ... Mr Sallis, Mr Jennings, Miss Clark (PE teacher) and of course, Mr Frost. I also remember a student teacher called Miss Crisp; she had no control over our class (or any other as I recall) and we must have made her life a misery. Mr Lyons, the swimming coach was a wonderful man and during one of my few visits back to Sheffield, was shocked to discover the swimming pool no longer exists! I was part of the swimming team comprising of Nancy Smith, Margaret Jones, Christine Wilson and myself, Diane Turner in the late 1950's.

Ten Town Adventure Ppayground was set up in 1965. It was the brainchild of a scouse by the name of Terry Page. I and a guy called Steve Hall who lived on Woodrove Close, along with Terry Page started the Ten Town adventure playground. The area was fenced and we were donated a caravan originally. Old wood and packing cases were collected for the localkids to build dens. Telegraph poles were erected and a rope slide was made there was also a sandpit. We had numerous sponcerd events to get money so that we could make life a little more interesting for the kids. I also know the Underhays as my wife ,also from a large family, was brought up with them.:)

As a new member to the Sheffield Forum, I came across this website accidentally and have throughly enjoyed reading about teachers/pupils from Woodthorpe School. Many names I too remember ... Mr Sallis, Mr Jennings, Miss Clark (PE teacher) and of course, Mr Frost. I also remember a student teacher called Miss Crisp; she had no control over our class (or any other as I recall) and we must have made her life a misery. Mr Lyons, the swimming coach was a wonderful man and during one of my few visits back to Sheffield, was shocked to discover the swimming pool no longer exists! I was part of the swimming team comprising of Nancy Smith, Margaret Jones, Christine Wilson and myself, Diane Turner in the late 1950's.are you related to eileen turner? she was in the swimming team with me in the mid 60's,i think she lived on kilvington road

i lived on woodthorpe for 15 years but left in 2005 as was getting rough,

first time to use the site i was at woodthorpe school 1958 to 62 i remember harry sallis wally webster and jonnie frost the headmaster in his batcape a lot of people liked wally webster but i hated him im glad i didnt meet him when i was a busdriver i would probably have got the sack:)

anyone know my husband mick birks he was at woodthorpe school he left 1965 he lived on woodthorpe road

Did he have sister, I can remember the Birks but think he was older, sure sister had a name beginning with J ?

Halevan and anone who went to Prince Edwards

Can anyone tell me if they can remember the Woodthorpe pit or Woodthorpe Ravine and the Orchards which were down the back of where St Theresa,s is now, Does anyone have any memories of Ten Town just off Woodgrove Avenue ?

Ta Mo

I went to Prince Edwards in the 50s and 60s and well remember walking in a long snake with the rest of my class across Pit Field to get to Woodthorpe swimming baths. We went on our own, with no teacher to escort us and we all arrived at the baths on time and unmolested.

Our teacher was Miss Pilgrim and I remember she always used to take 2 or 3 children in her car to the baths. I remember we used to hang back in class as the rest set off in the hope that she`d pick us to go in the car with her.

anyone know my husband mick birks he was at woodthorpe school he left 1965 he lived on woodthorpe roadim sure i remember mick,did he have black curly hair and left about 1965 ?

i was in the same class as susan, i remember she sat at the front next to johnnie spooner who had alipicia , they were tapping each other and the new student teacher a right old bat grapped john by the hair and shook him ,of course his hair came out in a lump and the teacher started screaming she was sorry

we had niel nicholson , susan boulding.roger mitchel ,danny coulton,mick lyons ,susan wingfield and alan tyrrell in class 4 a ,on leaving day mr frost the head master stood on stage with our leaving reports and said " 4a ,you are to my misfortune the worst class we have ever had attend this school" then we all cheered and grabbed our reports and shot of into the wide world :D

I remember the Woodthorpe from the 60s' onward but I lived and was brought up on the Base Green. Hope this helps:cool:

Hi I remember these guys off Woodthorpe Cresent, I went to Woodthorpe School with Peter n was great friends with June, we spent hours on TenTown. My aunt Elsie used to live next door to them before she moved across to Woodrove. She used to work in 'Les's' Paper Shop with Eva for years. I lived on the Avenue with my grandparents before gettin married and movin on to the Manor, returning to Woodthorpe in 2000. It would be great to hear news of June again. They moved home when we were young and we lost contact.

my mum grew up on the woodthorpe (Margaret Burgin) they moved on there after the slum clearance and i still have family on there, i have great memories of visiting my grandma who lived just down the road from the High Noon, I used to run up the road from my Grandma's onto the wall of the pub, run all the way round on the wall, jump off then cross the green to my aunt & uncle's. Happy Memories.

Anyone remember the Murdochs

I remember a Murdoch with whom I became quite pally in the mid 1950's but I can't recall his christian name. He was a couple of years older than me, which would make him about 73 or 74 now. If someone was to come up with a name, I am sure I would recognise it.

Mike

would it be Tony

Hi Lovelylinda,

After all that, I am not sure - well it is 50 odd years since we last met. I moved away from Richmond in 1959. We often chatted on the no. 32 bus and I think he used to get off at the stop between the Woodthorpe shopping centre and the terminus on Richmond Road (by the fishpond).
