Just to bump my own response, drove passed here today, there are now diggers and machinery present. The house and garage above now has no tiles and all look set to be demolished. See what comes of this 😏

Don't know if anyone has seen this but its worth a watch. Westfield School Sheffield. Just after closure from 2007.

Lived in Sothall for 14 years growing up (top end of Beighton) Queens Road is alright, certainly worse places to live.

Left in 1994, never a fan of School it was just an pain to me, i'd rather be playing football or Mega Drive.

I was there 89-94, Mr Capewells form. remember going to Greta Cottage, and watching England lose to Germany on penalties at the world cup in 1990. Walked somewhere cannot remember where? One of the few trips I either went on or was offered at the time.

Time to bump an old thread.......... Heard a story a few years ago (about 2011) that the builder and his wife divorced during the building of these unfinished houses. the divorce settlement was she received the 'houses' or 'land' plus a lump sum. The one house on there which is complete and is lived in looks rather nice, however the others have been left to ruin, by im guessing the owner of the large house? These have been built or half built since 1986, in that time I would presume that a lot of building regulations are now so different that these would not be able to be completed as the original plans (if the original plans still exist) would have now expired, simple things like a downstairs toilet and doors of a certain width to allow wheel chair access would probably not be on said plans. That said this was from word of mouth from a villager that had lived in Harthill all his life. There is a picture online, here: One day I would hope they are demolished and nice new one's built in thier place, as the views looking out to countryside would be great. Bonjour

Just Micro? Was that the shop which imported games? If so I remember it well around 1994-1996 time, could have spent a fortune in their. Went back a year or two later to find it had turned into a wall.

I "did my time" at Westfield between 1989-1994. I was in Mr Capewell's form. Mr Turton - did indeed wear a WIG, for I think the first 3 years I was there, everyone knew it was a WIG, sure I saw it slide once too, then after the 6 week holiday it just wasn't there anymore Mr Lester - Tash, a monster tash, proper slug it was, remember him bollocking students once for about 15 minutes after they stud on a slug. Mr Capewell - Also known a flakey/crusty due to his skin, nice bloke always got on with him, possibly the only one in our "form" that did. Mr Claxton - Also known as POB. Miss Oreagon - Loud southern accent, also got a lads name wrong, then said (every week for 5 years) "must remember to put a big J there" Miss Needham - Always looked extremely angry, but was a good teacher and kind of forced you to learn. Mr Kershaw - Nicest bloke you could meet. Mr Roe - Again thought he was good, some of his phrase's: "stand fast" "overcoat merchants" Mr Adams - Mr Bean lookalike again decent teacher. Miss Cooper - Short Skirts when bowling in public Mr Holmes - Always dileberatly called a friend of mine "Sharalamboo" when his surname was "Charalambus" everyone always laughed, don't know if he actually knew people was laughing at him or not Mr Bollough - Blackpool fan, other than that Brilliant, top teacher was more like a mate than a teacher always wanted to help and never shouted once. Mr Parsons - Did Mr Boloughs shouting for him Mr Jackson - Several at this time, deputy head/Maths always seamed angry with everything. Mr Jackson - Head of year, always behaved so never got told off by him. Mrs Jackson - PE, fairly old at the time, seemed ok. Miss Williams - Drama, strange one day a good laugh, doing something I hated, the next lesson, rip you to bits. Mr Slyvester - History, nice bloke, taught you well and was always fair. Mr Ibbotson - Pegleg at the time rather unfair nickname, decent teacher. Mr Thomas - History, only had him for a year, decent teacher. Mr Farmer - Looked about 300 hundred years old, I think he just played the piano in assembly. Mr Shaw - Some sort of Wood work/Metal work teacher, pleasant teacher, sadly died around 1994/1995. Miss Montgomery - English, haircut like marge simpson but ginger Mr Hulse - Classics, would read book and shout waving his arms everywhere, genius Mr Vickers - Music, shaved his beard off around 1992, that was it Anymore I can remember I will add to this list.
