ST Stephens School Sheffield

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me where this school stands/stood in 1930's? Did anyone on here attend or know someone who did?

 

I'm looking for Sylvia Housley.

If it's St Stephens school, the little school at the side of St Stephen's church, in Fawcett Street, in Netherthorpe, it still exists, here:-

 

(It's now called Bethany school, apparently, BTW)

Thanks for the info and link Plain Talker. It seems to the the correct one, going by the bit of info I have.

I thought all the streets were lost after the slums came down. I've been looking for Wentworth street.

Wentworth street is only a path, these days.

 

on the map link I supplied, go across the playing field (the ponderosa) and Find where Martin Street runs . Wentworth street is the footpath that runs up the playing field, parallel with Martin Street. (it used to be an actual street).

 

Some streets were lost, but others live on, in the names of the tower blocks (Adelphi, Wentworth, Burlington, etc, etc).

I attended the school 1952 to 1959. I remember my teachers names. Mr.Crow Miss Fishburn . I do not remember the infant school teacher. Anyone there and have memories to share?
