Did any of you attend Parkwood College? ( Shirecliffe?)

Recommended Posts

If you were there after 93 onwards, I might just know you!:D We called it the moon cos it was large, white and could be seen from all over Sheffield. If you ever went there, share your memories here.

 

I believe it was called Shirecliffe before it was Parkwood.

I was there a few years before you Lestat. I was studying Social Care (PCSC) between 1981-1983, then further in-service training in 1986. I seem to remember one of the caretakers there during my first stint was jailed for murder.

 

Can anyone confirm that, as my memory of it is pretty foggy.

 

I loved my time at Shirecliffe - life was so simple then.

I was there way before that (she said, suddenly feeling extremely old!) back in 1982, doing a drama and theatre arts diploma. It was a real laugh. lots of the kids went abou like they were on the set of "fame". All bubble perms and legwarmers. and that was just the lads! :lol:

 

 

we used Salmon Pastures for the woodwork side of the course, (set building) and Burton Street ("Langsett Music and Drama Centre") for the rehearsal rooms/ productions. We were at the Shirecliffe Campus itself for the academic side of it (English etc)

I was there studying Signwork under Frank Topley although my fondest memories are of Alan Cooper.

A true gentleman and a brilliant teacher.

I was there in the 1980s.

I was there from 1974 to1977 on day release and night classes to get my City and Guilds in plumbing. Spent many a happy dinnertime in the Timbertop.
