Morts   17 #3 Posted November 29, 2018 Hi Mike Yes, I was there until I was six in 1959 before we moved house and I moved to Lydgate. Can remember the school dinners were served just down the road. Teachers...Mrs Jones, Mrs Spurr and Mrs Baker ( or may have been Miss for any one of them) Dark red/maroon blazer with NGS letters intertwined on breast pocket. Will need a memory jog to come up with any school pals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mikesmith   0 #4 Posted November 29, 2018 Yes,remember all those teachers,the infant teachers I recall, Mrs. Baker was my first teacher when I was five in 1949,in later life her son became a good friend and was my best man at my wedding. School dinners were down the road,missed them thankfully as I lived close by. Still remember the names of all the teachers,some good,some not so.The best I found,was Mr.Wood in the last year 1959. 12 hours ago, scargill said: My mum and dad probable went to Nether Green starting around 1945.

Morts   17 #6 Posted November 30, 2018 I used to get a bus, by myself,  from Nether Green to Ranmoor church and walk up by the church and the halfway up Darwin Lane to get home. I can remember the fare being 1/2 penny and occasionally I’d spend it on two Black Jacks, at a farthing each, and walk home from Nether Green. Theres no way a six year old would be allowed to do that these days let alone know how to.

Were the Black Jacks from the sweet shop across the road on Fulwood road or the little sweet shop on Nethergreen rd,can remember calling in that one on way home from school for all sorts of delights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Morts   17 #8 Posted December 1, 2018 It would be the one across the road although I can remember the one down the hill from the school which I would pass when we lived on Graham Road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
