I had two sisters and a brother there too, my older brother david , my sister lynda and my younger sister diane , I use to play the cornet and once played in the sheffield school band at Sheffield City Hall , do you remember mr windle ? My other two brothers went to bents green school

Hi, yes I was 16 in the september , do you remember breakfast , steaming hot cocoa and potted meat or jam sandwiches ? How about them expecting us to go to sleep after lunch on those camp beds with the red ambulance blankets ! we used to walk down the lane to the maud maxfield deaf school to take woodwork lessons. We helped build a sailing dinghy that we sailed on ladybower reservoir . Can't remember wearing life jackets though , maybe it was an attempt to lessen our numbers a bit, LOL.

[/color]I went to whitely wood school from 70 to 73, It was my sanctuary my only escape from a terrifying miserable home existence , granted I didn't get the best of educations but I did get fed , looked after and enjoyed a little normality . These schools weren't only for the physically ill children but also for those who could, nt deal with mainstream school as well as others . I remember mr Broughton , mr Ellis , mr windle ,the nurse and some of my classmates , Not the happiest days of my life but certainly helped me though my childhood . It would be nice to know if anyone can remember me.
