Tara Misu   10 #865 Posted September 16, 2011 I lived in Handsworth in those days and, yes Mrs/Miss Fairest did live in that area. Sometimes I would see her getting on the bus which I had got on the stop before. Thankfully, I always managed to keep out of her way.  Looking at your photos, I was in your year at Owler Lane Intermediate. I was June Warrender, a quiet little mouse of a girl and still am. I lived on the Manor up to getting married, and now just live at Swallownest. Not well travelled like you lot. If you hear of any Sheffield reunion, could you let me know as I, and one or two others, would like to get there. June Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You must remember some of the other girls (& boys!). I don't know about well travelled - at least I'm still in the UK. Norfolk isn't that far away - I was in Wortley only yesterday!

Â Haven't heard of it Derek. North Norfolk is a bit of a trek for us and there are so many places to go in Norfolk and Sufolk. Hope you have a good time and your wife enjoys it. From my knowledge & expreience of Spain, their medical services are pretty good so hopefully your pal will get the best treatment possible.

Tara Misu   10 #874 Posted September 29, 2011 Hi Geoff, Yes we're still talking about Owler Lane Intermediate. I suspect that Derek and I were a few years ahead of you in the school and maybe some of the peolpe we remember had left by te time you arrived. I left in July 1961. Hi Richard. What was your surname at school? I feel sure you must have been in the same year as me. I was June Warrender and Mrs Needham was also my first teacher at Owler Lane. Mr Helliwell was my last, when I went into the Commercial courses. Also, have I read somewhere that there is a meet shortly, as I would love to get there.

We must have been in the same class and you should be in the photo I posted when Miss Needham was our teacher. I know nothing about a reunion but would be happy to come along if there were one.

I have replied to your personal e mail address but not sure if it got through. Just wanted to make sure it did and that you know I can't now meet with you tomorrow as previously planned. Cheers for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
