HI, Whitby road school was a senior school the girls were on the ground floor the boys up stairs. I left whitby road in 1959 a year before Waltheof opened but i still went there, I served your dinners!

i went to walthoef 1975 - 1979. I would love to hear from anyone who was there at the same time. Just pm me - i look forward to chatting.

 

only thing i can remember about the old waltheof is the cane happy grumpy useless teachers, what a depressing hole that was ,pipworth was loads better

My 3 years at Waltheof left few happy memories but thanks for contact, however -

It's unlikely that I'll know you,

As I left in sixty-three.

So no point telling you my name,

As you will not know me,

 

I didn't know of Wainwright

Nor that old tool, Goodrum

But I knew lots of lasses there

- one could have been your mum!

 

only joking

Mr Saxon, the headmaster of Whitby Rd School retired to Alford, Lincolnshire, I used to visit him from time to time, he and his wife were lovely. He died a good many years ago now, of a heart attack and his wife Doris died some years later.

Anyone remember Jane Mitchell and the other Intake girls. Her sister Susan went out with Ray Storey wondered how she is doing. Did she become a Sullivan. Think she left around 1976.

The Jane Mitchell I knew at Waltheof left in 1977 and married Martin Hull?

Sweetcheeks,

I was there from 67-72. I remember all these teachers. Also Miss Sarson, DW Smith, Mr Battersby, Miss Batty, Mr Rawlings, (they married each other) Who was the teacher that lived in Darnall on Darnall Main Rd right before it turned into Staniforth Rd? He hated black kids. He once got Linval Madden and used him like a battering ram and rammed his head into the wall in the classroom. putting a hole in it.

 

The teacher was Cooper, i was in his class and was best mates with Linvals brother Albert. He once hung Albert out of the tower block window, Cooper was a Nazi and also a magistrate. I lived at the bottom of Pipworth Rd till the estate was pulled down

I was there from 64 to 68 and found this thread whilst trying to find reference to a scheme we were involved in. it was called "Plant a Tree in 63".

we were taken to the side of the Parkway and each given a sapling with our name on. the year after they did it again as "Plant some more in 64".

I have searched everywhere but can't find a reference to it anywhere.

 

I have found load of people I knew on Friends Reunited.
