Who can remember Norfolk Comp School on Craddock road?

[Big Blue 10]

hello, Big Blue, and welcome to the Forum...

 

Yes, I'm sorry to say, individually, we are mines of useless information... (and I certainly speak for myself there, if not others! ) Collectively, however, it's actually a fantastic resource of local history! hehehe

 

what connections do you have with Norfolk School ??

[mother 10]

Shhh. The less said about that the better.. I think I had about two 'lessons'. The decision to quit was mutual. Besides, spit valves are dirty

 

Remember Mrs. Duncan, the school ghost? She was apparently beheaded in a train accident and her body was kept under the stage in the hall, or so I was told.

 

Yes i remember mrs Duncan, my mum visited her one morning after she hit me with my busy book around my ear, she died shortly after. Does anyone remember Mr Slee, Mr Rackham (head), Miss Quickfall, Mrs Booth?

[mother 10]

his dad is called pete bailey and he used to own a mobile fruit van. pete now works at b & q on queens road. not sure of the guys name you are asking after though.

 

could be John or Mark Bailey

I attendend Norfolk school and left in 1976. I remember some of the teachers mentioned earlier, Mr Headly, Mr Beaumont and Mr Pyle. We have a school reunion for our year every 6 months and Mr. Pyle actually came to a couple of them.
