Yes, usual suspects - Mr Jarman, Mr Dore, Mrs Reynolds, Mr Forester, Mrs Smith and a Reception teacher ? Mrs Schofield. Are you still in Walkley?

We moved to Crosspool in July 59, when I finished at St Mary’s and went to High Storrs. I’ve put a visit to the Walkley Festival on my to do list this year - it’ll bring back memories.

So, you must be the new baby my Mom took me across the road to meet ! Hello again. Yes, we lived across the road, looks like (on Google Earth) it’s all been altered now, but I recognise the gate posts and that wall. Fond memories of my brother and I sliding down the icy pavement on a tin tray which he rammed into the gate post to stop, I’d only be about 5yrs old and my mother wasn’t amused. Those were the days!!

Hi we left Industry Street in the summer of 59 - No 86, across the road from you I think. Did you live next door to the shop?

Hi Rob - just read your post ref Mr Dore at St Mary’s and it brought back fond memories, especially the time he gave me a lift home on his motorbike up to Crosspool, via Fir St - I didn’t have a helmet on, and clung on for dear life especially at the top of Fir St where it turns onto Crookes. Doesn’t bear thinking about, but my mother wasn’t concerned. We used to live in Industry St. and had moved just before the end of term, and then I passed the 11+ and went to High Storrs. The rest, as they say, is history. Hope you are keeping well, and thanks for the memory. Monica
