remember them changing their dinner times and home times coz us roughy'uns from hurlfield kept beating em up:hihi: :hihi:

We used to finish school at 3.40 so we didnt clash with Hurlfield going home. What do you think of the name "Myrtle Springs" ??? sounds a bit of a snobby name to me.

Times New Roman

I used to live on Seagrave and walked it, there were no people carriers then. Does anyone remember the Bungalow Stores on Gleadless Common? There was another shop just up from the New Inn, was it 'Brown's). The Punch Bowl chippy as well...

Myrtle Springs may sound snobby, but believe me, it isn't

I was at Ashleigh from 76 - 80. remember one of the buildings was slowly sinking.

 

Do you know that there is a property developer building new houses on that site. And the school was pulled down due to sinking!!! I worry about househunters buying those properties. Hope they sorted out the sinking problem

I left Ashleigh in 1978...Potts, the music teacher, the camp one, we called him Wendy. Who was the geography teacher who seemed like someone out of Kes? The craft workshops were superb, there won't be anything now to match it. Mr Lord, Mr Jackson, Mr Bolan....
