peterwarr Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Another possibility for the "C" is "Council". They were all Council schools rather than the church schools labelled as such. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozzin Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 If you look at the metal grills in the background in Great Aunt Lillie's photo they do resemble the grills on this photo in the yard of St Mathias that was just of Summerfield St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozzin Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Does the C stand for Christian? Two national days of celebration were declared following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The main event, for the whole population, was to be on Saturday 19th July 1919. But before that, on Thursday 17th, there was a children's day. In Sheffield all 90,000 schoolchildren took part in some way. There was a central event in Town Hall Square, and 5 others in city parks or open spaces. This is a rather murky picture from the Sheffield Daily Independent (18 Jul 1919):Children...ebration.jpg This is taken at the central event in Town Hall Square. The main characters portrayed are the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, but the three girls are wearing a familiar style of dress. In fact, (and this is probably wishful thinking) compare the girl on the left with the girl third from left in the third row in the main photograph! The children assembled first at their schools. Each was at that point to be given a peace medal (though in the end some didn't receive their's till after the event). Here is a photograph of the medal...Sheffiel...ce_Medal.jpg Although representatives from every school were present at the Town Hall there wasn't room for everyone, so contningents would have headed for the 'satellite' events, which were held at Meersbrook Park, High Hazels Park, Crookesmoor Recreation Ground (?Ponderosa), Hillsborough Park, and Firth Park. For a school group from the area of Hermitage Street I am guessing that they might go to Meersbrook Park. This is a list of the schools represented there: Gleadless Road C. Heeley Bank C. Norton Lees C. Norton C. Meersbrook Bank C. Woodseats C. Heeley C.E. St. Barnabas' (Cecil Rd) St. Barnabas' (Alderson Rd.) St. Simon's C.E. St. Silas' C.E. Abbeydale C. St. Mary's C.E. Valley Road Myope Sharrow Lane C. (Junior) Duchess Road C. (Junior) Lowfield C. Carter Knowle C. St. Wilfred's R.C. Pomona Street C. St. Marie's R.C. I am not sure what the 'C' on its own is - county?! City?? ... Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilldweller Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Valley Road Myope ? School for children suffering from Myopia ? I hope they fared better than I did when my eyesight went at about age 10. I was sent to the school clinic at Leopold Street where I was interrogated by an old geezer who looked like Kaiser Bill. He told the nurse to cover one eye and barked at me to read the chart. I couldn't even see the big letter at the top. The same with the other eye ! When the report got back to school I was told off for shirking, the report said I had perfect eyesight. Eventually a note from the doctor allowed me to see an optician, (it was required in those days). I came out of the opticians wearing NHS milk bottle bottoms, but at least I could see again.
