Hi Tony , not being a former pupil I was recounting what I knew from locals around the area and like you I grew up in a world of hand-me-downs and make-do and mend , the only problems my upbringing gave me was a poor credit rating because I always refused to have credit lol. Back to De La Salle , after doing a little research , De La Salle college was indeed at Beauchief Hall , near Abbeydale golf course (where I went caddying for pocket money) in some form or other. In 1958, the Hall and grounds were acquired by the De La Salle College. http://www.delasallesheffield.co.uk/history.asp (site for former pupils and club members) Beauchief Hall is a large manor house on the high ground of Beauchief. Since 1923 the house has served as a school (De la Salle College), a hotel and currently as headquarters of a software company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauchief_and_Greenhill#Beauchief_Hall In 1958 the Hall, gardens and grounds were purchased by De La Salle College for use as a school. http://www.parksandgardens.ac.uk/index2.php?option=com_parksandgardens&task=site&id=4474&preview=1&Itemid=chool.

This topic is a fascinating find for me and a great insight into De La Salle as someone who didn't go there. I was brought up on Low Edges estate from 1954 and can well remember as kids we would often wander down Beauchief to play or go fishing at the abbey ponds. I well remember being told by other kids not to go to the De La Salle pond as the "rich kids" there would "beat you up and throw you in the pond" lol , however I did one day go with a friend and was stood by the pond looking at the fish when half a dozen or so much older boys appeared a few hundred yards away and started shouting and running towards us , I can tell you we legged it pretty quick. I eventually passed my 11+ and went to Rowlinson where discipline was pretty strict but nothing like what I see described here. I just wonder what you who were at De La Salle were told (if anything) about "us lot" from the council estate because as a kid it seemed a world away from us. I am now 58 , have run several businesses of my own and semi-retired looking after my wife but still have really good memories of growing up around that area.

Is that John H. ,Paul E.(nellie) here lol and John is the only 1 I remember having lived in the maisonettes.I have great memories of Low Edges but sadly the estate seems to have a bad name these days.

Same years as me stevie 64-69 , I was in Osbourne , I just restored an old form photo from Rollo and 1 from Bradway County on low Edges which prompted me to search for posts about the old schools.Time flies doesn't it lol.

Seems like I'm waiting for the forum to update my posts before I can send pm's or post links so Rozie or anyone that wants the photo can email at [email protected].

Hi Rozie , no problem but because I don't have enough posts to send pm's or post links lol I,ll have to make another post.

I remember Kev , he was one of the White Hart regulars in our crowd , very quiet but anybody that knew him well knew you didn't upset him.He had always fancied my ex Jane who came from posh Bradway so I was told but she picked me lol.I always got on well with Kev and used to deliver his milk when I started my own round up on Low Edges.I recognise virtually all the names mentioned here I lived up there from age 1 in 1954 till around 88.
