Sharrow Lane School 1950s - Reunions

[oscar2157 12]

Hi Oscar, yes I wrote it. It is one of a trilogy I have called The Lanes. The others are about Dixon Lane and Manor Lane and part of that one has been embodied in a sculpture in a new park near the Manor Castle. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

Yes I agree the Stag is a good idea. I feel sure they'll have parking space for zimmer frames!

Brilliant !... you have an obvious talent .. I recorded the poem.. and shall take another listen.. Dj.

This is not a plug but if you have an ipad or tablet or kindle you might like to look at Tramway Tales by David France on Kindle Books priced at 97p ! I recommend "Blind Man's Buff" and "Snakes Alive" for Sharrow memories...lol.

Don't worry Runningman, I'll put a reserved notice on a chair for you! Like I said, we may spill out to a pub! Suggestions welcome.

Would pupils who attended Sharrow Lane in the 1970's, be welcome at this reunion? I also attended the centenary back in about 1989, and last year, 2016, would have marked exactly 125 years since the school was fully built. The central building was built first with the primary school building coming next, followed by the extension to the central building in the junior school yard side later. I was brought up on Croydon St and went to Sharrow St Johns playgroup in 1968/9 before starting at Sharrow Lane Infants in January 1970. I left for Abbeydale Grange School in 1976. You may remember a Mrs Timperley at Sharrow Lane.
