Yes the bomb shelter was still open when i was there.There was also an air raid siren on the roof of the infants school which they still used to test up to the fifty,s. We also had house departments that we belonged to I E.Angles, Saxons, Jute's and so on. Some of the teachers where nothing but bully,s i always think that the better dressed you where the better you got treated. One teacher who they say had been a prisoner of war used to beat me up at the slightest opportunity i despise him to this day, still they taught me to read and write so not all bad.

Sorry cuttsie but I can't recall any of the people you mention. I was born next door to the Salvation Army Hall on QM road and didn't leave until 1964. I didn't go to P. Edwards seniors so I don't remember the bomb shelters as I think they were in that part of the school yard.

I think you are right about some of the teachers being bullies, they were far too hard on young kids and lets face it we were little angels on todays standards!

I went to Prince Edwards , on the Manor from approx 1954 to about 1964. I lived on Queen Mary Road just below the school and wondered if there are any of my old neighbours or school pals who use this forum. I started secondary school around the time the Gleadless Valley kids joined us until their new school was ready. There were lots of them in our class for the first year. Would love to hear from anyone who was around at that time
