Walkley

No contest. The best fish/chips was Bestall`s on Bolover Street. It was a husband and wife operation and they worked well as a team. He did the cooking and she did the serving. Every night there was a queue that went right out of the store. With the building of the Arts Block at the university the place was demolished and I heard they moved to the Ecclesall area. Anyhow the best chippy.

I recall one at the bottom of Mushroom Lane and the beginning of Winter Street. Near Weston Park. There was also one on Commonside. near that hospital.

My good friends George & Bill Wood attended St Marie`s in the 40`s & 50`s. They both went on to De La Salle.

The old Corn Exchange. A stunning great building sadly lost in a fire. I think it was on Exchange Street.

My recollection of High Schools in the 50`s were, Firth Park City Grammar High Storrs King Edwards Central Tech Abbeydale Grammar Hurlfield Nether Edge Notre Dame De La Salle

I went to De La Salle in the 50`s and our school colours were Green and Gold. I don`t have a school badge but vaguely remember it. Other high schools I remember were:- Firth Park Grammar City Grammar Convent High School Central Tech King Edwards High Storrs Hurlfield Notre Dame Did I miss any? Do you remember your school colours and what was the badge like?

The last I heard he lived on Wentworth Street. But that was 60 years ago, he`s probly moved by now.

I went to St Joseph`s School on Howard Hill Walkley from 1948 until 1952 but went to Western Road School for woodwork one afternoon a week. I think the teachers name was Mr Shaw. I remember he had a few fingers missing. Being a woodwork teacher I wonder why???
