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.

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?
