Hi Alan

I attended Hucklow road school and I would have left in 1963/64.My name is Paul Berry and we lived on Idsworth Road.I remember Miss Carding-Wells and good old Mr Bradley.I remember learning to play the cello so I could get into the orchestra as I had a crush on a girl who played clarinet I think her name was Jane Beeston.When I left Hucklow I went to Silverdale that was a daily trek.

You were a year behind me and a year in front of my brother Andrew. Sorry I dont recognise your name.

Hi.

I went to Hucklow Road School all school life and left in 1955. About the time it moved to Hinde House.

When I started school Ms Wragg was the headmistress and Miss Toes was assistant head. In the seniors Mr Gamble was headmaster and I remember Mr Wilson, Mr Laver, Mr Sisk, Mr Stocks and Mr Ridgeway and Miss Nugent.

But my favourite and I think best teacher was Mrs Laybourne. She was our first teacher in senior school and took us out to the country at the weekends, I still have a photo of her with all the class.

I remember Philip and Leonard Marney they lived on the Oval and so did I, we were all in the same class. They left for a year when they were 10 and went to Firshill School

I think you would have worked out my age by know, anyone got a good memory.

I think my dad lived in "the oval" ?? somewhere around Firth Park.

Hi Alan. Sorry old age is setting in. I went from 57 to 64 before going to Abbeydale. I remember Tina Crawford who lived on the same road as me and went to High Storrs, I was always being told to try and get on well like 'Tina had done' by my mum.

Hi Ibbo

When I got thinking properly I realised I started in either 60 or 61 so in your last years and yes now you mention it the name Miss Martin does ring a bell.

On another post someone mentioned playing bulldog, brought back memories of playing it in the narrow bottom yard at Hucklow.

I was at Hucklow 1955 -61. ( lat 2 years in Mrs Shaw's class.) Mr Sisk was very scary and his torture scars and direct manner made him seem larger than life, but I recall him teaching us to recite RL Stevenson,s lovely poem From A Railway Carriage over and over again very dramatically until we could do it - great teaching! I bumped into him, quite elderly and even more wrinkled, on his motor scoter in the 80s as he lived near me, and he seemed a very nice man. Wish I could have talked to him more about those days.

 

Mrs Shaw (ex Miss Farmer ) could be quite viscious and ruler you at a moment's notice, but she got lots of us through the 11+ and I admit I was later grateful for that, ( since I enjoyed my secondary school)very much).. whatever the morality of selective schools and the things we DIDN'T seem to do at at school. She later had a craft shop at the town end of London Road. I was the scorer for the Rounders team and she threatened me with the sack from that job for once talking in class!

 

I can remember lots from those days - lots of skipping; terrible big wax crayons; Time and Tune and the BBC nature programmes where you were allowed to buy the colour programme at end of term for 3d. swimming at Sutherland Road baths, snaking down the road, the front room shop at the top of Ellerton where you cold get a penny Tizer (in a sherry glass?!), yummy scraps from the chippie opposite on a Friday. I myself never had a school din. at Hucklow, always went home, but was fascinated by the comments about school peas like bullets.

 

It seemed that all our teachers had comic names that could be parodied - Cornflake from Cornthwaite, Toes, Carding- Wells etc.

Anyway that's enough for now. I only know 2 girls from my class now even though am still in Sheffield and have been continuously.
