I've heard of Oakwood School, I think some of my class mates at King Teds had been there but I've no Idea where it was. Some of the old Kelly's have Oakwood collegiate school at Norwood, but nothing at Fulwood.

Hi Tooeg

Norwood private school was on Norwood Road about halfway on on the left hand side going towards Barensley Road from Herries Road.

The school was below the road level and you could miss irt travelling along Norwood Road in a car.

I believe the school only took pupils up to a certain age as there was an ex pupil from there in my class at the Central Technical School.

Hope this helps. PopT

Hello Fliketyflic1

Just noticed your request for information on the Capps.
I first knew Noel Capp from Oakwood, Norwood Road in the 1956 to 1958. I passed to Central Technical Scool , Sheffield in 1958.
I came across Noel again mid 60's and we used to go out socially to the pubs along with my then mate Tony Curson.

However I probably saw Frank Capp more over the1960/70 {thats his dad} in and around the pubs in the Crosspool area .I left Sheffield 1977.
Sorry to see Noel died 1997
