Recommended Posts

Yes, great. I found Helens organisation Girls Alone in London now called Alone in London. Ill call them and see if she is around. Maybe we could look at asking West Yorkshire and Lynsay Education Board to place a few ads ? We could always meet up Im in Chesterfield.

Hi guys, I have only just joined I am not from Sheffield but by accident I came across your thread about Springhead Park School when it was an approved school, which brought back memories !!! I was there for about two years from about 1966 - 1968 When I was there the headmistress was Miss Sunner her mother lived with her ,and staff members I can remember are Miss Picker, Miss Perkins, Miss Hayton ( I think ) who married but can't remember her name, Miss Peat who was the art teacher , and Mr and Mrs Jeffries or Jenkins who ran the hostel part for working girls, girls I can remember are Violet Nicol's, Ruth Clewes Marion Marshal, Joyce Pollock, a gil called Elaine can't remember her last name, often wondered what happened to them all , after 48 years still think about things from that part of my life, so I was quite surprised when I came across you guys , just wanted to share xxxxx
