Mr. Dyson, Woodwork, Mr. Slater, Science and Mr. Furness, English and he could use a cane. But it did us no harm.

If you are talking late 50s the teacher would be Miss Bridget, she also taught Relegious Education, she came from Cornwall.

I have been trying to remember the name of all the school houses, but its been such a long time that I have forgotten them. But I can still remember the school motto, Honestus quan Manura, is that right?.

Hi, Houses were Hopefield, Birley, Wingfirel and Thornbridge.

i was in Hopefield, but if I remember well Thornbridge allways seem to do well on

sports day.

Yes Honour before Honours, or as Miss Green would say "If a jobs worth doing it's worth

doing well" My kids know that 'cause me and Ken would forever say it to them and add.

'miss Green 1960"!

Honestas Quam Munera the literal Greek meaning Honor Before Honors. Frecheville school houses were Birley red, Hopefield green, Thornebridge yellow, Winfield blue. I was in Birley.

Hi, your wife didn't have a sister called Janet and Brother called Brian by

any chance and live on Basegreen. As Janet was in My class and we went to

her house to hear her brother practice with his 'band' we met up years later. He turned up at Marsh Lane school as the Headmaster!

as for Mr Furness!!! He was the reason I did not stay on at school, he had a very mean streak. Miss Green only died last year age 98. Miss Turner was my favourite and also my form teacher. I have some great memories of

Frecheville school.

I Remember Mr.furness As A Big Flirt! Miss Green Had The Mean Streak, I Was So Afraid Of Her! Mr. Slater Who Taught Us Science (he Was A Bit Scary But Very Smart) Mr. Curren Was Our Math Teacher, He Had Red Hair And Was A Short Man Who We Nick-named 'tich' Curren Since His Father Also Was At The School. My Name Was Janet Higgins Then And I Have A Twin Sister Who Wore Glasses Called Linds, We Left Sheffield In 1965 To Come To Canada. Visit Sheffield As Often As I Can...........always A Yorkshire Lass At Heart!
