Bayleaf Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Many years ago I worked for the School Libraries Dept and visited all the local authority schools regularly. On one visit to parkside the head had got all the old logbooks out and was writing a history. He read out a few entries from the early years of the last century. One said simply " Another very cold day. The ink in the inkwells frozen again." Another said " A number of children absent today due to the icy weather and their lack of shoes".

lysander Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hucklow Road Infant and Junior...1947 to 1952 Acres Hill Junior...1952 to 1953 Hartley Brook Junior...1953 to 1954 Firth Park Grammar School...1954 to 1959. I believe all my old schools are still there except Firth Park which, in an act of civic vandalism, was reduced to rubble and replaced by a "Community College". Although we had a very enjoyable year re-union back in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagro Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I attended Gleadless Primary school fro several years from 1935. In those days the classrooms were lighted by small glas chandeliers from ornamental glass strips were suspended. Whenever a light breeze touched the fixture, a melodious tnkle would prevail above our heads. That was the nice memory. As most pupils in the first classes, we lived on the new Chatsworth Park estate and had to cross the park and exit by the gennel on Ridgeway Road. As youngsters, this was a dangerous undertaking as we were always mobbed by a gang of bullies from a higher class. After school we had to cross the ground before the bullies came out, otherwise they would chase us and rough us up somewhat. Here is a photo of our mothers who came one day to escort us home. As you see that didn't stop the blighters from getting into the picture. Anyhow I think they improved the photo somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Is that the bottom of Ridgehill Avenue in the background? If so is that the allotments in front of them? There are still a few allotments there to this day but they are very badly placed for access and do back on to the gardens of those houses.

dagro Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I have no idea how the park looks today Dave for I haven't been back there for over 50 years. In the dip between the houses and the park ran an open stream which went undergound when it reached the school wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have posted many pictures of it in a topic specifically on Hollinsend Park* (link required) The stream is still there, it dries up in hot summers, and floods in wet weather. ------------------------------------- Hollinsend Recreation Ground * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
