Is there anyone out there who attended Anns Road school between 1951 and 1955 and Carfield School between 1955 and 1959. I am visiting from Australia in July and would love to catch up with old school friends. Yes I have registered with "Friendsreunited" but only a couple of people I know have also registered. I was born and lived in Heeley until 1972.
Hi there!

Hi Angela !
Thanks for your response to my notice. You are obviously much younger than I. My sister Rita and her friends Ann and Kathleen Adams went to Anns Road and Newfield Green Schools, maybe you know of them.
I am interested to know where you lived in Heeley and what your name was back then. We lived in the row of houses at the side of the Heeley Green Pictures, opposite the shops.
Bye for now.
I also was born and lived in Heeley for a good part of my youth.
I went to Annes Rd School and Heeley Bank, I have lived on Spencer Rd, Richards Rd, Alexander Rd, and Gleadless Rd, I think my parents must have some nomadic blood in them.
I also went to Newfield school but it was fully mixed by then, but it still had the blue and red bulidings (Boys and Girls). Was Chinney there when you were there (Mr Wilson). I am also interested in your family name as you may know some of my relatives as they all lived around that area and some would be your age. Send me and Banksia a private mail to discuss.
Hi Banksia
Can’t remember Adams. I left Newfield Girls in 1969ish
Certainly remember Heeley Picture Palace and I think I can visualize where you lived, I think the Spinks (Yvonne) lived at the top of that road.
My family (the Gillotts) lived on Carter Road behind the Waggon & Horses.
I have done quite a bit of family history tracing and have accrued a few photos of old Heeley if you’re interested.
Hi Mikey
Newfield went comprehensive in my last year.Yes I remember Chinney Wilson thundering ‘YOU, BOY’ down the corridor at some poor little waif who’d let his hair grow onto his collar. He was a former sargent major wasn’t he? He was deputy head, Mr Thorold was head I think.
Were Mrs Fletcher (Flea-bag) the maths teacher, Mr Phillips (physics), Mr Hedley (PE) Mr Fisher (biology) there when you were there?
My family, the Gillotts, lived on Carter road, behind the wagon & Horses
Some of my schoolfriends lived on the same roads as you ; Susan & Paul Eddison on Richards Rd and Trevor Sugden on Spencer Rd.
PS
(haven't sussed how to send private mail yet!!)
Just click on the middle button labelled PM and it does it all for you.
I remember Mr Thorold and Mr Phillips and Mr Hedley, I dont remember those friends of yours, when did you leave Sheffield?
I guess I am a bit younger than you, but my brother and sister may know the names, what year did you leave, my sister is 50 this year and she went to Newfield.
What life like in Skeggy?
Nice to read your notice re. Anns road school I was there from 1952 to 58
You will remember Miss Hargreaves and Mr Eyre and Mr Hooper he also ran the play centre (happy Days)
I then move to Newfield School left in 1962, and revisited this year for the first time.
We walked all the way around the school, and nothing as changed, all the rooms are same with the original doors seems a little run down.
The tennis courts are all over grown,but we had some happy times.
I went to school when Barry Wilkinson Roy Jepson Trevor Bingham all lived around your area.
BET YOU PLAYED ON THE DOCKER!!!
We lived on Prospect Road near Silcocks Pub
Been to Australia (Wollengong) NSW Great going again next year

Ah,old Heeley,Anns Road school,The Field just off Gleadless Road,The Garages further up,The Docker off Carfield Road,Drink shop on Heeley Green,Cuckoo pub up from the Upper Heeley club.
I remember Tony Thorold from Newfield,and his famous "Don`t wear a green cloke with me lad," quote.
I`ll remember more when I`m sober.
There was an organist at either the Heeley Palace or the Coli pre-war and I can no longer remember his name. I think it was Bertram Brennan or something like that. It's a long time ago and my memory is failing. I do remember going to the Heeley Green before it was a cinema where I saw Gypsy Petrulengo and a man who whistled (could it have been Ronnie Rinaldi?) and also the strongest man in the world. For a publicity stunt he pulled a double decker bus up Gleadless Rd with his teeth!
I was born in Heeley in 1966 (cambridge place) both my parents were born there as well - dad on kent road (tony gill
)mom on walden road- june marshall, my grandad was a coal merchant- edwin marshall. My parents both met at Tyzacks on Valley Road which strangely enough is where I bought my first house - right opposite!!! Apparently a few houses on Valley Road were fish and chip shops as well as houses and sold the food from the front windows!! I also remember the little terrace house on Heeley Green that was between 2 shops (one of which was the Herbalists where as a treat mom would take me for a drink (I think it was Vimto or Saspirella) out of the pump on the counter. And Tingles drapers - when I was little that place used to amaze me with all the wooden drawers. Does anyone remember Deans shop on Cambridge Road and Jims fish and chip shop????
Hi debsp I remember all the shops you mentioned, especially the Drinks shop, saspirella mmmmmmm. Tingles - they used to sell all balls of wool and stuff like that, not much call for that stuff now.
Do you remember the newsagents called Woolhouses?
also the Wagon and Horses and the Round House?
I was born around that time, which school did you go to?
I went to Heeley Bank, and for a little while Annes Rd before Newfield.
My gran used to live on Walden Rd - 27 I think.
Do you still live in sheffield?
hi mikey,
yes i do still live in sheffield, i lived at meersbrook for 14 years but have moved to crystal peaks now.
i went to what was then bluestones infants and then ashleigh which is now no longer there.
my mom and dad got married at heeley church and i can still remember all the terrace houses that were accrss the road (obviously they were married b4 i came along!!)
