I live in Doncaster now - not too far away but I don't go to Sheffield very often these days.

I remember the name Penny Norman but not sure who you are on the photo I've got. Its dated 1969 summer term (everyone in stripey summer uniform). I would have been 14 and I think its Miss Secker in the middle - I guess she would have been our form mistress. Remembered a few more names - Elaine Edwards, Elaine Draycott, Jane Wordsworth, Kathryn Stallard, Patricia Needham, Kim Beeley, Shirley ?Harwood. I'm not the best at remembering names but some of them came back! I was Angela Nelhams in those days.

Just picked up on this thread. I went to grange in 1966 after 11 plus exam! Can remember some of teachers mentioned but my favourite was Miss Williams. I always enjoyed the Christmas carols outside the Cathedral at lunchtime. Must have been a nightmare organising all those kids and instruments onto the buses for probably less than an hours concert. Some of the names I remember are Gillian Emmerson, Diana Robson (we're still in touch) Catherine Wikner, Andrea Green, Laura Carrigan (with lovely auburn hair). I'm sure I've got a class photo somewhere - might jog a few more names if I can find it.

Further to my first post - Just realised that I didn't give my mums name Nora Nelhams. I'll get the hang of this eventually!

Hello I'm a new member and came across the forum whilst looking for info related to where my mum used to work. I'm trying to write about her memories of when she was younger for her great grandchildren. She used to be one of the nurses at Davys in the late 1970's ( along with Nurses Beck and Newhall). My dad also worked at Davys since 1952/3 and was known as Little Eric. He was heavily involved in the First Aid class and worked there until his retirement nearly 40 years later. I remember going to the social club on a Saturday evening. I hated the staircase because you could see through to the floor and I remember the fish pond at the bottom of the staircase. If anyone can remember either of my parents I'd be really grateful for any memories you could share.
