last orders   10 #41 Posted December 6, 2006 Sanellas ice cream brings back memories. I used to go up to their house/yard on a Sunday night and get a "cup" of ice cream with raspberry sauce for I think 6 pence. Mrs Sanella was a nice lady and I think they had 2 sons one called Anthony the other I cant remember. I recall Mr Perry at the hardware shop at the bottom of Bromley Street and "Petes" papershop at the end of Fawcett street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

In Uppers   10 #45 Posted December 7, 2006 Hi there In Uppers. Next time you see John in the Phillidelphia ask him if he has done any sleep walking recently. He went awol with us while working in Northampton. Hi spada,  I don't think he'll be sleep walking just yet cus he's just had a hip operation and is currently on crutches.  He now lives on Ashberry Gardens, just behind me.  I'll mention the sleep walking in Northampton to him on Sunday when I see him.

docmel   10 #48 Posted December 7, 2006 My best memories are when we were in the annex on the "tip" much better than in the main school and of some lovely girls, Judith Metcalfe, Linda Dors, Marilyn Lane and Jean Davenport.  Sounds like a list of Rank Starlets - what brilliant names. Was Judith related to the Metcalfe twins and their younger brother Tim Metcalfe?  My memory of those annexes was going down there for basket weaving lessons - the things they made us do as kids.  After school we also used them as a playground. There was a ledge going around the outside of the buildings which - the challenge was to see how quickly you could get round the ledge before you fell off - the buildings were on a slope so the ledge got progressivly higher as you got round, which added to the fun and danger - I bet if they were still there the ledge would only be about 6' off the ground, but to a young kid they seemed a lot higher.
