johnm Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I suspect one school is Carlisle St (sadly the admission registers for that are lost) . It could just be All Saints though & the admission registers for that can be found on the Sheffield Indexers site (my parents are on those).

The school I think you are referring to was on Carlisle Street East, bordering Garter Street and Forncett Street. My father went to the school around 1920 as it was the only 'secondary' school in the Burngreave area then . My dad lived on Lucas Street, only yards away from what became Burngreave Council School but that wasn't built until 1931. The Carlisle Street East school later became property of Firth- Brown's, the Forncett Street side being a canteen and the street level on Carlisle Street East (and the basement ) was an First-Aid station for that company. The building or indeed the outer walls are still there as of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yes, there is almost nothing on the net about Carlisle street east school. I once found a picture of it but can't seem to find it now except for an artists drawing available on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
