Anyone go to Upperthorpe 1950's to 1960's ??

Just found this post. Bill Burdett and I were an item back in the 60's. I often wonder what happened to him and his family, Mum, Dad, Julie and Andrew. Perhaps if you see him again you could tell him. My name was Skinner then.

I saw them at the City Hall when I was 15, all I heard was Twist and Shout, the rest was drowned by screams. The roads around the stage door afterwards were choc-a-block and I went home to my Mum and Dad and cried, they thought I was crazy - I was for the Beatles. My Dad described them as long haired layabouts!!

I went to Upperthore, left 1962 - so any of you pensioners out there

Did anyone live near me in Fulton Road and go to Upperthorpe School. I left in 1962.

I think you must have been at Keswick School with my children

I was talking today to my sister about the big slide going down the hill in winter

I was also there from infants 1951 to leaving the 'big' school in '61.

I worked partime in the evenings in the 60's there and we didn't use slops. And for your information the cleaning regime after closing was very strict. Terry and his wife were strict but good to work for if did the job properly

I went to Broomhill Nursery 1950's

My mother was born in 1919 and went to Western Road School. She is now 89 yrs old but will remember much of her schooldays.
