Newhall Road and Sanderson Street

[dorothymwalk 10]

Newhall Road had a bus stop at the Attercliffe end and all the kids from Hunstman Gardens School (as well as some other schools I think ?) had to go to either Hadfield House Lane or Hartley Brook Schools for secondary education - and we had to 'bus it'. School uniforms, bus passes - remember coming home with a 'domestic science' effort - some sort of stew thing in a china bowl - well of course with the great drivers and bus suspension I arrived home with half the effort down my dress!

yep I used to get no 1 top of newhall rd then down brightside lane pick up all hartley brook kids . my mate bob batersby got on there but we went to hatfield.

The name Battersby rings a bell - which years was this and what classes were you in - I left in 1962 and my last form class was Mr. Bradbury. There used to be an Art teacher (I think it was Art) but anyway she had long black hair and used to practice singing 'Blue Moon' in a Jazz sort of way at lunch time. There was also a craft teacher who was something like Hungarian and I was useless - he used to look at my work and say 'Oh my dear girl' and shake his head - he had good reason still messy and cannot cut a straight line

[cliffsharky 10]
