THE AMAZING ALEX HARVEY BAND , even though i did see Zepplin there , but Robert Plant had a sore throat.

Nothing built on Cyclops St , I lived on Cyclops St in the same yard as the Allens and remember Norma very well 😎

I had Mr Baggot for Sport and technical drawing , He used to hit you with a big white slipper that he called Mr White. Good teacher though. Jim.

Hi , yes i was a regular at the boys club from the 60s to the early 70s and would love to have a copy of your book . Please contact with details . PS is that Jack Bowler , hope it is . Jim Daley.

Always remember my Dad telling me that you could see the NORTH POLE from Sheffield ,at that time i didnt know he meant the Pub.

Hi Bothemlad , i remember the Sanderson Trophy matches , didnt we win with a goal from Dave Green as i remember the headline GREEN FOR DANGER.

A night at the Jigsaw disco at the Marquis of Granby , then up to the station with your mates to catch the early morning train back to the Midland station . Great times.

Bothamlad , PM sent. I hope .

I can remember Mighty Melvin at the penguin, we used to ride over on the bikes from the Magnet and sit on the floor to watch the GoGo dances , sometimes it was Melvin and we would cheer him on , great laugh.

I had my Tonsils out in the Royal on my 13th Birthday , i was in there a week , not like today . And Bothamlad i remember you breaking your leg . Jim.

I went to Grimesthorpe junior , i remember having a teacher called Mr Platts who was From South Africa , he used to read to us before we went home , also Mr Eyre .Then Owler lane that later became Earl Marshall and had teachers, Miss Shillito , Mrs Greenfield , Mr Flemming and others , We had a French teacher i think she was called Mrs Clarke , i remember sshe wore big bloomers I left in 71 i think

Hi , Is there anyone out there who remembers when pupils from Earl Marshall school went on a trip To Austria , we went by coach and i remember sleeping on it. I think we joined up with Tapton school.We had a few days skiingwhich was pretty different to how we used to go down hills in the snow.Think the place was called Iggles or something like that. Anyway we all got drunk on the local brew , one or two fell in love , but remember we had a good time . Must have been around 1969 /70. Jim.

Left Shiregreen in the 70s so not sure what it ended up as . Got your PM Steve.

Yes , i think it was the hut that was called Afferties? ,Would be great to meet up again , Sorry but lost your mobile number . I have sent a PM but never sure about them . Jim.

Sad to hear how the place has ended up .It was always Industrial but a good community. Jim.

Yes ,we always called Horseshoe "Afferties" i dont know why but remember going to weddings etc in the hut at the back. Jim.

Hi , i would like some names from the reunion pics , i must know some of them, as i was born in Grimesthorpe in 1955 and lived there till our house was demolished in about 1973 , and having gone to Grimesthorpe and Owler Lane / Earl Marshall schools. Jim.

Yes great pictures , just wish i could put names to faces , but then its been a long time since i was in Grimey .

Ay up Steve , good to see back on the forum.Soon be time for another pint or two. Anyway bact to the Botham St picture , I can always remember running up Botham St in one of the Jonny Butler sports day races. Good days . Jim. ---------- Post added 21-11-2017 at 19:12 ---------- As for the chapel ? on Grimesthorpe hill , i can remember Francis Butler running the Boys Guild from there , it was a bit like the Boys Brigade . Does anyone else remember it ?

I used to live just above the Hooker and can remember playing by the Brickyard gates . As i remember there used to be a small doorway cut in the gates and can remember going thru it and seeing large blocks , but then i would only be small. Jim.

Oh No , Dowson , thats a name from the past, many i time i was sent up those stairs to see him which usually ended up with the stick . Mr Hall was the headmaster when i first went to Owler Lane and it changed to Mr Bullivant when it became Earl Marshall. Jim.

Pancho Pearson , Thats a name from the past . I remember him well from school . Their house had a big window like it had been a shop. Jim.

Yes , had some great times at the boys club over the years , getting away with murder with Plum but always pulled up by Trevor. Being Rollocked by Jack North. All the trips we had at the Lake District , Some place in Wales , and the camping trips to Stoke Ford near Hathersage plus many other trips out in the old van Lucy. One of the things about attending Plums funeral the other month was seeing one or two of the old lads and telling a few stories .Good days. Jim.

Nice to see the view from Holywell Rd , I was always happy to walk down that road as a lad , as it meant i had finished my paper round . Jim.

Steve , let me know if you got my PM , i send messages but sent record says non sent
