Hi pipsmum what year did you leave Abbeydale

Hi Gloria, your name seems familiar though I left a year after you. I think the swimming instuctor at Broadfield Rd baths was called Mr Ward.

I went to Abbeydale infants and junior in the main building on Glen Road then on to secondary school on Abbeydale Rd. Lowfield like Carterknowle was a feeder school.

I think the malt stuff was called Virol, don't remember having it myself but I know my little sister had to suffer it

I went to Abbeydale Junior where we had Haddon, Hardwick, Chatsworth and Welbeck. At secondary school it was Alpha, Bete Gamma and Delta

I was there when Mr Johnson was head Mrs Murray was my teacher in my 1st year. Hopefully I will be at the next reunion 19th April see you there

Iused to go on the trips to seaside each year with this club. my grandad and uncles were all members. We had to line up and be counted afore we got on the charabanc

My mother and father in-law met at this school where some of their friends also met their partners

Fairthorne was at Dore, I did not stay there myself but my sister Christine did in thr early 50s. Agirl called Sonia Wood was there at the same time as Chris and I remember visiting, Sonias dad gave us a lift home
