PC Drive   10 #130 Posted November 11, 2017 Art teacher William Proctor's nickname was 'Whistling Jack' on account of his overbite giving him the whistles when he talked. He retired in '75 I think and was replaced by Mr James.  'Cyril' Smith was certainly there in the late sixties as he taught both my sisters (Julie and Helen Woods)  Garth Howe died recently from cancer. Great teacher.  Mr Turner was also a nice bloke too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PC Drive   10 #132 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Did your sisters live in the maisonettes on Gaunt rd  Yeah - 137. I was born in the upstairs bedroom of that very maisonette, nearly 55 years ago. We moved out in 1963 (just after the hurricane) up to Constable Drive were I was raised. I left Constable Drive in May 1979 to join the Royal Navy, and am still in. Have lived away from Sheffield ever since but still come back round my old haunts and Hemsworth/The Valley is always very special to me.  Julie is in her mid sixties and lives in Spain now and Helen lost her battle with cancer in 2010 aged 56.  Where did you live? I have quite a few pictures of that era but unsure if this forum allows uploads.  PCD Edited November 12, 2017 by PC Drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
