Sheffield Landladies 1951-1990- help needed !
dsweetman replied to theimposter's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
My memory could be faulty but a girl called Janice Latham was at The gregg school in sheffield circa late 1950 early 1960 and her parents ran the dore more inn.I seem to recall that she had auburn coloured hair. -
It is due to lack of education and pure selfishness.Unfortunately a sign of the times in which we are living.I suppose that it would be against their human rights to put them in a mental institute!

Anyone go to the Gregg School in Broomhill 1952/1955?
dsweetman replied to Harleyman's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
There is a private facebook group for ex gregg school pupils if you want to introduce yourself,the local members have the odd get together for a drink and a bite. -
There has been no mention of The Pete Fender Show who played a lot of the clubs in the 1960,s.The singer (Trefor) was sadly killed in a car crash and that was the end of that band,although I believe the rest of the chaps continued with their musical interests.

What Primary School Did you go to?
dsweetman replied to GothicCharm's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I asked because there was a girl called collette senior who was teacher training whilst in the 6th form at the gregg school when I was about 12 or 13years old and I had a massive crush !!!That would have been around 1957/8. -

I remember him.He was a bit of a hardnut.Always had his henchmen with him.used to go in the dive bar at the Nelson,where I believe he met his end.Well known around town.
