Remember him getting married to one of the teachers. The other teachers I remember ereKelly and Yospur who died there when I was in the second year. Came from Foxhill school and lived on Bullen Rd ,any body remember me Tony Brocklehurst ?

Yes Tony. I was at Foxhill Junior School at the same time as you. I can remember a lot of names in class, as I remember yours.

A few boys names were, David Hetherington, David Badger, Steven Buck and David Scholey. Some of the girls were, Patricia Cowluck, Patricia Burns and the Brearley twins, Christine and Ann. I could go on with many more and I have early class photographs. My name is John Gill and I hope you’re keeping well Tony.

 I left Meynell in May 1963 to go to Hartley Brook School as we ‘flitted’ to Shiregreen.

I remember you Tony. Some more names for you to try to remember, Billy Dawes,  Ronny Wommersly.  I think they both lived on Bullen Rd and went to Fox Hill school.

A lot more that I can think of. The headmaster of Fox Hill was Mr. Hewitt
