Hi Fellas! Good to read who you all are! I'm 60 in March (and they said it wouldn't last!) but it won't be a very big Party! Does anybody remember Mrs Eastwood from School? She was very attractive I thought but a bit intimidating and I know she taught you and me Woody.... Another teacher I remember from my time in the 6th Form was the Irish lady Mrs Coombs....? I remember Julie Bellamy very well as I used to do A Level Art with she, Angelina Bates and Andrew Philips (who I once did a pencil drawing of David Bowie for!). Stay safe n' well Hodge

Isn't this COVID thing the pitts! I know I've joined this group belatedly but reading through the uploads has been a real "pick-me-up" at this difficult time. Thanks to everyone who has contributed and particularly to those from my era ofcourse! I'm pretty sure I know you Snappy13. Did we last meet at a Jonathan Richman gig at the Leadmill many moons ago? ( A good friend of mine used to call you "PG!"!) So sorry to read about the passing of Mr Lee, who taught me History when I was in 2Q. Good to read about Mr Underdown (and his great Hardy quote!) who taught me English in the sixth form. I loved his lessons and still love poetry!! Anyone remember those "scrapps" behind The Carlton Social Club on Gleadless Road? Stay safe everyone.

Chevysheff? Do you remember Shane Tanner from Ashleigh?! Wednesdayowl? Were you a good tennis player? Cheers!

Hi Folks! I attended Ashleigh from 1973 until 1979 and have many happy memories of it! My favorite teachers were Mr Brown for English and Drama, Mr Burgess and Mrs Booth for Art, Mrs Surr for RI and Mrs Read (even though she never taught me!) I will always be grateful to Mr Gears, without whom I would not have been allowed to go to the School at all! I was sorry to hear about the passing of Mr Lambert a few years ago; he was my Class Tutor in years 4 and 5 and loved a good laugh! My classmates included Hutch and Hilly (who came with me from Charnock Hall Middle School), Spud, Mac, Woody, Jenny, Dock, Guinness, Goffer, Oatey and Phyllis.... I remember quite a few of the girls as well but was too shy to talk to most of them! I remember Jeremy and Debbie from your writings and hope to recognise more.... Cheers for now and let's hope we all have a better New Year!
