Dreb48 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 The good thing about Dore in those days was Dore Dance. Saw some great local bands there. There were bands on at St Johns on Abbeydale Rd South, Methodist YC and at the Fleur of course. Johnie Hawk and the Falcons was I think the first i saw at the youth club. Remember hanging about the car park at the Fleur to hear Vance Arnold when he was a regular there. Eventually the buzz of seeing live bands meant catching the 45 to town and the Esquire. A whole new story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ping Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi Dreb48 - would I be right in assuming your name is Paul? Whatever happened to Ned? My recollections of Totley Rise were the abundance of old cars owned by Derek Burnand paked all over the waste ground that later became the dual carriageway.

Captain_Scarlet Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi Captain Scarlet. Just wondered what your connection with Totley in the 80s was. Did you live, work or study there? Totally agree with you on the bus terminus not being by the Cross. Just not right.My Mother is from Totley. Grandmother first lived on Abbeydale Park then Overcroft Rise behind the Fleur. I only spent my holidays there but lived in the village my-self for a few months in 2002 when Myra's closed and passed on to the couple that both went bonkers, literally. I was also there in 1999 when the Polytechnic tower was dynamited, we were all in the field behind the uni campus, on the way to the Totley Brook.

Dreb48 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi ping. Yes that's me. Lost touch with Ned years ago. He was best man at my wedding in 1974. He was a hospital administrator and moved up to Keighley to work at Airedale General. Are you Adrian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreb48 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Adrian. Lost that nickname when I left Totley so when I started the thread hoped somebody might make the connection. That idea started at junior school as you remember. Am surprised no one else has been on that went to Totley County in that period. Remember Burnands pile of abandoned cars at the end of Glover Rd. Think you lived on Marstone Cres at that time. Have you come across anyone else from those times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ping Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Paul, It was Stonecroft Road so Marstone was close. There's a few I have contacted in the last couple of years namely: Rik Jerrom Roger Glossop Micheal Witherley David Hope All resided at the above.

Dreb48 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi ping. Have checked out the photo that you gave the link for. Can't understand where i was that day. Must have been throwing a sicky. Some names I can remember who are on there : Elaine Russell, Helen Proudlock, Mark Tiddy, Janet Fletcher, Peter Kippax. Have got photos from Reception Class and Final Year somewhere that have got names on the back. Will try and dig them out. Am sure the teacher is Miss White. Can also remember Miss Willoughby and Mr Roberts and the headmistress Miss Clarebrugh. Realise now it wasn't Marstone. Went to your house a couple of times and can place where it is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halkynuk Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I lived & went to school in Totley sometime around 1956/7. Memory tells I attended the junior school. Was there a primary & junior school in Totley at this time? I also have a group picture of Miss White's class. Sadly, I don't remember any of the names of my classmates. If it's of interest, I could post it on Friends Reunited & then put the link in a message here so folks can go to it and see it. I only have a few memories of Totley - can't stop to post them now, will pop by again to share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
