Any one go to Owler Lane Intermediate school

Recommended Posts

I attended Owler Lane from1953-1958. I was in the same year group/form as Maureen Waller, Benda Hoyland and Edna Savage. Mr Pegg was a really good art teacher. Mrs Fairest was strict but gave me a love of history which I went on to study at college. She was tiny and used to stand on the step of her old fashioned desk so that she could see us all. Mr Helliwell was terribly boring. He had an annoying habit of banging his chalk on the blackboard all the time. I recall one speech day which the Lord and Lady Mayoress attended. Pop Gregory gave a speech and after speaking a few words about the Lord Mayor turned to his wife and said "and you Lady Mess"! Of course staff and students were highly amused. I am still in touch with Brenda Hoyland but haven't lived in Sheffield since 1965.

I went to Owler Lane Intermediate 1951-1956. I lived in Grimesthorpe then but some class mates lived around Owler Lane. Can I help?

Sorry I have no photos but according to 'south fork', see an earlier comment on this page, you should be able to find plenty of school photos following his advice. Any other info you require let me know.

Hi RonG, I recall your name Gutteridge and Barry Butlers, I was in your class in 51. Other names were Butters, Belk, Varley etc. I have a couple of class photos with the names of the class if you let me know where to send them.

Hi Barry, my name is Brian Lingard and I'm sorry to tell you Alan Belk passed away 2013/14. We got in touch through this site and emailed each other frequently. I have a class photo with you on it (51 or 52) I will have to learn how to message you with it as it has all the names above the boys.

RonG, you were in the same form as Barry Butler & myself. I have a couple of photos with names on them, I'll try and message them to you, if I can't you will have to let me know your email address.
