It is now 2019 so a bit late to answer but I was at Abbeydale from 1947 and knew girls who were there at the same time as you

Yes it was bombed out in the war,I believe in the blitz but maybe later. Up to then I went to the Sunday School there.That closed down after the bombing

Hi Rita There was a Margaret in my class at Sharrow Lane.I wonder if she was your sister? I sat at the same table as her in the infant class.

Hi Syb Would love to know when it was thast the bus was pulled up Gleadless Rd.My grandma had the sweet and tobaconist shop at 24 Gleadless Rd and her eldest son [my uncle]married one of the girls next door at the bakers.Last but not least my dad met my mum when he went in the shop for some cigarettes] ---------- Post added 23-05-2014 at 19:20 ---------- Going back a little further than that I believe a Mrs Goodison lived across the road from my grandma's sweet and tobacconist at 24 Gleadless Rd and took care of my baby brother for quite a while when my mum was ill in hospital.
