Names of "houses" in Sheffield schools

[frankkettell 10]

At King Ted's in the '50s the School Houses had the names of stately homes, or dukes, I'm not sure which. There were eight of them. I remember Arundel, Chatsworth, Haddon and Wentworth - I'm not sure of the names of the others. I wonder if KES still has them.

 

I went to Huntsman's Gardens and the lad who was the smartest in our class was called Beverley Crapper. He went to King Edwards in the early '50s and I often wonder what happened to him. Anyone out there with any clues? Frank

I attended Greystones Secondary School in the 1950's when the houses

 

were named after lords of the manor of Sheffield ( Furnival, Lovetot. Howard

 

and Talbot )

I was at Huntsman's Gardens where we had the names of steel works, isn't that surprising. Atlas, Norfolk, Cyclops and Hecla. I wonder if these still exist?

I went to Bankwood too (it was called Rollestone before they changed it because it sounded too much like Rowlinson) and I was in Windsor too.

I went to Springfield Junior school, and we had " houses " there too. I can remember 3 of them being, Fitzwilliam, Devonshire, and Mappin. Danged if I can remember the 4th one though. Should be easy I know, but there ya go. I remember we all had to get into our given teams for P.E too, and wear a team band of that colour.

In the late eighties at Ecclesfield we have Cowley, Housely, and two other local houses that I can no longer remember the names of. I think we then changed to birds of prey which didnt quite have the same local ring to it.
