I seem to remember:

 

George Jex was always known as "Jud Jex".

 

Brian Manning's Mum worked on School Meals at Burngreave. She usually worked in Room 52 at dinner time.

 

Jack Akers lived on Stockton Street

Does anyone remember the Darling brothers, Keith and Michael (Mick) ?

 

Hello,

 

I remember Keith Darling at Pye Bank but don't ask me when. Would he be about 72 now? Also, did he every live on Andover Street or would that be another "Keith" ?

Did Brian Manning live near the bottom end of Fowler Street, just round the corner from Macro Street? If so, I remember him from around about 1951-2 when he went to Burngreave.

The Harpin I remember was, I feel sure, Leslie. He lived on Bramber Street, I think. Did he have a brother called Leonard?

Hi Falls, my name was Nora Armitage and I think I must have been in your class too. I remember all those names.

Nina Dodd and Jean martin were my special friends. Janet Hodget lived next door to me at no. 16 Gray. June Moorwood,Pat Atkin and Jean Martin were in the swimming relay team with me, I remember some of the boys too especially Ronnie King, Peter Oliver and Stanley Idle. Were we all in Miss Smiths class at the end?. Do you remember the cane she had and used it plenty of times. My hands are still smarting lol are yours.

 

Cheers

A picture of the Pye Bank teachers from 1943 appears on Sheffield History in the 'Places that have gone' section, in case anyone is interested.

Hi Red', I took the trouble to register on the ''Sheffield History'' site just for the opportunity to have a look at that picture. Clicked on the relevent place, cannot get a picture. No joy at all.

Yes Nora, we were all in in Hilda Smith's class and yes!, she could dish it out the the cane.

 

I think the funniest thing about her classes was music, particularly singing. She would start a song by finding the note on that wreck of a piano. Then warble "This your noteeeeeeeeeeee".

 

Rita Heathcote (another name I've just remembered) and I would look at each other and then Rita would have a bad attack of the giggles. Why Hilda never saw us is a mystery.

Hi Falls, thank you for your reply. You were right about Janet Hodgett, she lived with her parents and her grandfather Mr. Rice. Last I heard of her she got married and went to Canada. You were also right about my cousin Joe, sadly he died a couple of years ago. He had two younger brothers Ray and Brian who I have lost contact with,. I never saw or heard from any of our classmates after I left school, you are the first. If you remember any thing else let me know. Cheers.
