docmel   10 #26 Posted March 11, 2005 Ajax - have you logged onto the Friends Reunited website.? There is a whole section on there about Myers Grove - pictures, memories etc.  Costs £5 to join, but that is for twelve months.  There was a reunion last year for all those who left in 1970 - it was at the new Hotel down by the Canal Wharf. Unfortunalty at the last minute I found I could not go, but apparanantly it was well attended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
fridgeman   10 #27 Posted March 11, 2005 visited friends united site , not really much about 1972/3 (photo's i mean). i can remember a girl called susan from my days at myers, she lived just off meadow street , there was a small jennel down the side of the meadow street hotel leading to st phillips road , they used to live in the last house on the left , can never remember her surname.used to be down that area every weekend but 1972 came and sadly i left myers, they were rehoused due to compulsory purchase and we lost touch , never seen or been in contact since.

herbiegrass   10 #28 Posted March 11, 2005 I lived opposite the lane you are talking of, and it led to Hoyle Street, I wonder if the girl you are thinking of was from the Bains family? I used to knock around with Alec Bains and he taught me to smoke. I think he had a sister called Susan and one called Mary. they lived in the first house at the end of the lane if I remember right, at the bottom of the lane down past the Meadow was a meatal bollard to stop cars going down, and in the yard adjacent in the top corner was Mr Rycroft who owned a very old car, a little like a model t ford. hope this brings back memories.

OntarioOwl   10 #29 Posted March 12, 2005 I went there between 1979-1984. Had the old codger Wardle for RE one year. Do they still teach RE? Its not politically correct in North America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

deecee   10 #33 Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by docmel Hi   I left in 1970 - but I do remember Mr Wardle - he was our year tutor - to a young kid of 11 he was pretty fearsome, but as I grew older and he went through the school with us (the year tutors stayed with the same kids all through their school life at that time) - he seemed to mellow and i grew quite fond of him by the time I left  Hiya all you Myers Grove people  I was one of the "first batch " of pupils who went to Myers Grove in 1960. Mr Wardle came with us from Crookesmoor school, I had also been in his class since I was 11. He was a tough teacher , but he was one of the best and a great bloke as well. He had a brilliant knack of "seeing " out of the back of his head, and launching the blackboard rubber at you, and it never missed the target !!! It certainly taught you to pay attention . I left in 1961 at 15 years old ( as was the norm then ) to join the Sheffield workforce and earn my few quid a week. deecee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
