Monica lived off Leadmill road and may also have been called Monica Higgins, her married name was Monica Wathall.

i went for its final year, my first year at school. it must have been in 71, i was born in 66 so its seems about right. my teacher was a nun who was really nice but when i moved up to st maries oin fulwood i remember the headteacher sister mary dennis used to regularly punish pupils with a big table tennis type bat, often for very minor offences. i had it several times. a bit brutal

Hi,

My Brother went to this school. He was born in 1952 and I think it was his first school so possibly around 1957 until the early 60s. His name was Paul Oates and he lived at number 52 Sheaf Gardens.

I remember one day after school someone broke a window at the school and the priest ran after my brother, he ran into our house screaming that God was after him.

Does anyone remember Paul? His friends were John Hall, Gordon Jones, Trevor Deacon ,Pat Mayor and lots more I can’t remember.

Any go to St Maries RC

 

There was a rumour that went round when the school became empty. A kid called mark (surname withheld due to shame lol) went to steal the school bell. This was apparently quite big and heavy? and fell on him causing him some injury. I have a vague memory the bell was high up on a wall or roof. Can anyone recall?

Oooh Sister Mary Dennis, I remember her from my time at St Maries, She used to scare me back then.

 

She must have been attached to that bat, because she had it then, (and used it often).

 

Wonder what she would do now?

I’m sure you are right.

I remember the kids used to run through our kitchen from Sheaf Gardens and end up in Manton Street.

I thought it was you when you came on the leadmill road thread. Many water pass under bridge, have talked to Deakin boys on forum. Had many good hols in Paphos but use Zante n Goa now. Sheffield change too fast for us old uns, I'm employed as NHS transport manager and still lose ambulances, bring back cobbled roads they slowed you down.

right back to work, nice to hear and hope you and yours are well

Regards
