Old school friends from 1950s

[grannypat 11]

I have been trying to remember the names of the people who were in my class at infant school from about 1950 to 1957. St Silas C of E on the corner of Young Street and Hodgson Street. So far I have remembered 22, icluding myself. I seem to remeber that there were over 30 in the class. Anyone out there with a better memory than me? Just to give you a pointer there were;- Jimmy Elwes, Lois Lambert, Margaret Billard, Albert Price.etc.

Pat, I know it's, as they say, nowt to do wi' me, but you might get a bigger response if you put the name St Silas C of E in your title --that way it might catch the eye of a few folk. Start again, it won't do any harm!

[grannypat 11]

Hi, Thank you for that thought. I will take your advice and try again. Many thanks.

hi pat

i knew almost all those names you put in your class at St Silas,because i lived on Moore St,and lived only 2 mins away from St Silas,but i went to Springfield School,but its nice seeing St Silas and the area being mentioned.

Good Luck With Your Search.

Hi there I'm thinking grannypat is Pat Owen, this is Elaine Dewsnap, now Gordon. How well I remember the days of St Silas, you were a year ahead of me in school but I remember the names mentioned very well, I went "out" with Albert Price!

 

I remember the gang of Gloria, Linda, Robert (your cousin?), Paul and Brian, the great games of rounders we used to have on Humble Road.

 

Would love to hear from you or anyone else from that era.

 

I've been living in Australia for twenty years so don't get back to Sheffield very often.

 

Cheers

 

Elaine

Hi Elaine,

I was thrilled to get your email. I was beginning to think that I was the last one left of the old gang. I have sent you a private message and look forward to hearing from you again. Perhaps some of the others might take your lead and want to get in touch if only to say "Hello".

Best wishes

 

Pat (grannypat)
