Hi there, just wondering whether anybody went to lowfield school and if you remember any of the pupils or teachers. i was there from81-83 (i think!) such a long time ago now............................

Yes I went to Lowfield school but a long, long time ago -1962 - 1965!

Hi how about these pupils' Greysons' Thompsons' Arthurs' Spriggs' Dawson' Shuts' Parish' Bookers' plus many more i could name.

i remember the dawsons and shuts and parish and the bookers

Yes I went to Lowfield school but a long, long time ago -1962 - 1965


Not as long ago as me! I was there 1953 to 1959, and I remember my first day vividly as I (and a few others) were tied to our chairs with skipping rope because we tried to run away. Imagine that happening today.

my first school circa 1950, i think it put me off education forever. they had a dental clinic there which used pliers and gas to remove teeth, I can still smell and taste the stuff.only there a few months then went on to Bents green for the next 10 years. not a very good start academicly.

Bornabd bred we must have been there at the same time! Judith Dodd, Janet Hand, Catherine Burton, Albert Hanstock, Michael Evans,Robin Stillings, Tony Wilson, Janet Leather, Robert Adams... ring any bells?

Hi how about these pupils' Greysons' Thompsons' Arthurs' Spriggs' Dawson' Shuts' Parish' Bookers' plus many more i could name.

I acquainted myself with the Greysons when they moved up to King Ecgberts, not a pleasant recollection!

Hi' was that the Greyson boys or girls lol. I used to live on the same road as them and was able to defend myself although i was good mates with Philip who lived elswhere.

Bornabd bred we must have been there at the same time! Judith Dodd, Janet Hand, Catherine Burton, Albert Hanstock, Michael Evans,Robin Stillings, Tony Wilson, Janet Leather, Robert Adams... ring any bells?

Sorry Scout none of those ring a bell. Carole Needham, Peter Wallace, Hazel and Neil Proctor are a few names I recall

Bornand bred Neil and Hazel Proctor are my second cousins! Neil was in the year above me at school. Did you know Kev Elliott or Barbara Senior?

I thought Neil and Hazel were twins my age. Don't know the names you mention.

Yes you are right they are twins. It was theie younger brother Keith who was the year below me at school. Hazel went to King Ecgberts and when I went there in 1965 Hazel was in the 5th year.

I Went To Lowfields Up To 1960, Miss Qupit( I Think That's How It's Spelled) Anyhow, She Was The Headmistress

Never attended there as a pupil but our army cadet unit(York and Lancs) practiced there in the fifties. Used the schoolyard for square bashing and we had a room for blackboard lessons etc.
The rifles that we used for rifle drill were old first world war Lee-
Enfields and were kept on the caretaker's cellar steps. Imagine THAT today.

Was Major Lewis the CO at your time

He certainly was. He was also our insurance man. Were you in the corps ?

yes late 40s early 50s

Probably just missed each other. I joined sometime in the early 50s (53-54 I think) and left to join the T.A. (Hallamshires) about 1957. Dates are a little hazy at this point in time. I'm 66 so I'm guessing that you're probably a little older.

4 years older

Hi i went there from 58 to 64 then to newfield had some good laughs

Hi scout I am A H live in lincolnshire now we will have a word soon

Bornabd bred we must have been there at the same time! Judith Dodd, Janet Hand, Catherine Burton, Albert Hanstock, Michael Evans,Robin Stillings, Tony Wilson, Janet Leather, Robert Adams... ring any bells?

What about Ann Morley, Jennifer Loukes and David Drew then ?

Not forgetting the two Johns, John Rumsey and John Mather.

What about Ann Morley, Jennifer Loukes and David Drew then ? jennifer loukes is my cousin, her son was the little boy in The Full Monty, later in emmerdale , jennifer is now a lecturer, and living in millhouses.

Hi i went there from 58 to 64 then to newfield had some good laughs Iwas at newfeilds, also lived in lincolnshire and worked in theddlethorpe.

yes late 40s early 50s

You don't recall Evelyn Barker, by any chance do you?

jennifer loukes is my cousin, her son was the little boy in The Full Monty, later in emmerdale , jennifer is now a lecturer, and living in millhouses.

Hi thai, I bet that Jennifer Loukes will recall me, although we were only 8 at the time, I was then:

'' A mardy bum, a cry baby, and equal top of the class with Judith Dodd all the time.''

After I left 42 Commando I became a Solicitor/Company Secretary. I am 6ft 2in, 16 stone 7 lbs and no-one has bullied me ever since. A few tried, but I found that when looking down the barrel of an SLR (and I don't mean a Single Lens Reflex camera ) bullies seemed to '' lose weight rapidly ''.

I bet 10 bob that Jennifer knows who I am.

Kind regards.

Hi thai, that would be nice. I think that the little girl whose dad got killed was called Shirley, or Sylvia, Jubb. If I remember correctly her dad worked for the telephone company and was killed in a telegraph pole incident, but, I thought that the pole actually fell on him, although he did climb up poles as part of his job, and the irony was that he wasn't killed by a fall - although this might have been '' playground talk ''.

He was a smashing bloke, quite short and stocky with short black curly hair. If I recall correctly they lived on Harrington Road, a hilly road just behind Queens Road. I used to go down it on my trolley.

Kindest regards to all.

I don't believe this ! You must, from Sharrow Lane, have also known a few of the following:
David Buxton, Keith Badger, Christopher Polomski, Andrew Plaxton, Steven Cosgrave, Phillip Smith, John Townley, Alan Cotterill, Terrie Sigsworth (my heartthrob), Dawn Tomlinson, Veronica Robertson, Yvonne ''x?'' and James Grant.
I used to wag off from assembly by doing that bloody weather station.

Who was that lad who was excellent at rounders and used to hit the ball over the wall as he was left- handed. I think that he used to live in Club Garden Road ?

Hi there, just wondering whether anybody went to lowfield school and if you remember any of the pupils or teachers. i was there from81-83 (i think!) such a long time ago now............................

I believe so yes. I helped run the weather station, to get to it you had to go through his office and climb out onto the flat roof. I remember Mrs Pearson very well though.

Hi there, just wondering whether anybody went to lowfield school and if you remember any of the pupils or teachers. i was there from81-83 (i think!) such a long time ago now............................

I was there around that time too, teachers - Mrs bathmaker, Miss Kirsop, Mr Whitlam, Mr crick, Mr Dobson...the greatest teacher ever! and the head was John Evans.
pupils Ebru onal, Lisa Loval, Susan Smallwood, David Watkinson, and there was Ryan and Craig (brothers)but can't remember thier surname!


Ring any bells???

I don't remember the weather station. I remember his office, very well!

I was in Mrs Pearson's class, in j4. It was terribly sad when she passed away in the early eighties.

I didn't know that she had died and was sorry to hear that, she was a great teacher and I can see her in my mind's eye now.She can't have been very old. I remember that her son, although 4/5 years older than me, also went to King Teds.

Yes I went to Lowfields and King Ecgberts and so did my older 2 brothers.I knew the Graysons,Dawsons,and all the others mentioned.I was upset to hear last year while on holiday that Mr Dobson had died he was a top teacher.

yes I heard Mr Dobson had died, a real shame he was a great teacher.
Mr Whitlam has only just left Lowfield school this year.

hii i went to lowfield from 1957 to 1964.kevan elliot and barbara senior were in my class.i remember most of who was in my class . jean ibbotson and branda caton were the two i mostly hung around with.
the others were keith proctor, neville lethbridge, roger jarvis, jimmy evans, michael grudge, robert barnes, david grocott, malcolm waring, lesley moss, christine watson, valery greaseley, margaret waring, diane cawthorne, linda warton, malcolm williams, celia slimm, margaret goldie, liz simmonite, margaret cave, christine duncome, linda drew there maybe some more but cant recal any more.the headmisstress was a nice lady miss cupitt the only other two teachers i remember was miss hobson the reception teacher i liked her,the other was mr slator he was the last teacher i had he was a nice man too.
after we left lowfield some of our class went to abbeydale secondary modern and newfield so didnt see most of them again really.shame

Yes you are right they are twins. It was theie younger brother Keith who was the year below me at school. Hazel went to King Ecgberts and when I went there in 1965 Hazel was in the 5th year.

What a small world it is. Just found this post today and only read it because my recollections of Lowfield are only of the horrible visits to the dentist :gag:!

The first coincidence is that I started my education school at Sharrow Lane, but was only there for a few months as we moved house, so recall nothing much at all.

Secondly (hence the quote above) I was at King Ecgbert's with Hazel Proctor and at school and since then, I have been called Hazel in a variety of jobs!! I have no idea why the teachers got our names mixed, unless it was because we had the same hairstyles (although different colours as I was blonde) and we both wore specs.

If I remember rightly, her twin, Neil, married one of our class mates, Judith Semmens, one half of another set of twins with Jennifer. As far as I know, the marriage didn't last, but Judith is/was in accountancy and at one time, had her own company and I worked for her for a short time in the late 80's, but the the last I heard, the company had closed.

can anyone remember simon millar

Rachael. You used to hang about with my older brother Andrew

dawson ????

I was 1 of the first to go into the new building I can remember carrying everything from the old building to the new(they would call it child slave labour these days)

Have come to this thread very late and am fascinated to see so many names from my dim and distant past!!:suspect:
I am the aforementioned Jennifer Loukes and remember most of the people very vividly. David Drew probably remembers me (unless he's had a LOT of therapy) because I used to try to kiss him at every opportunity and I was a lot bigger than him! His rejection of me put me off blondes for life. Does everyone else remember the small, hidden bit of playground next to the police box? The likes of David Drew would give it a wide berth if I was in the vicinity!
Shirley (Marsh ) was the girl who's dad was killed and she was a very good friend of mine-even after she'd got a gang to call for me and beat me up when we were in J2 (I think). My Best Friend in juniors was Joy Hunter who came with some of the others (Judith, Carol Proctor, Janet Hand etc) from Duchess Rd Infants. We lost touch after going to different secondary schools.As for the "cry baby, Mardy bum"-is that you John Mather??
Fascinating stuff.:surprised

Hi I`am Chris Polomski left handed and use to knock the ball over the wall .Terrie Sigsworth was my heartthrob as well recognise most of the names i use to be pally with John Fung, David Little

The rounders lad's name has just come to me, it was Steven '' Ding Dong '' Bell.

I'm John Mather.

Hi john I remember you I`m chris polomski As a left hander I use to knock a few over the wall.My brother David and his friends use to hit them on the school So we climb up later to retreive and keep the balls.

What school did you go to when you went to London & what year.
Hi tosh I noticed the abbeydale badge I went there after sharrow lane chris Polomski

Hi
I was there in the fifties. The headmistress was a Miss Clark- awful woman. There was a school dental clinic there as well. I remember some of the teachers there -a Mr Walsh, Mr Clifford, Mr Robinson, Mrs Dalton and a Miss Simon. My friends were Jackie Short, Margaret Howe, and Sandra Asquith -where are you now girls?
