Stuart0742 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Inspired by DaveH's topic about Norfolk School on Craddock Rd, there are quite few such topics on the site here is a index to known topics. Start your own topic about your own school and add to this index What School did you go to Burngreave Council School Crookesmoor School Firth Park Grammar School Frecheville Comprehensive School Newhall School, Paget St/Sanderson St, The Empire of Jerold Bronks! Norfolk School Sharrow Lane School Wisewood School If you want a link adding to this list just reply to this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Glad to be of inspiration Stuart. This is a good idea and I am glad you have put the schools in alphabetical order. What I would like to see eventually would be a definitive guide to Sheffield schools past and present, - just like we already have the pubs and working mens clubs list, the cinemas and theatres list and the war memorials list for Sheffield we should have something similar for schools. I don't think such a list would ever be complete just by members posting about the schools they personally went to as the coverage would be incomplete, particularly of older, long gone establishments but it would need researvhing in much the same way as the previously mentioned lists have been, but at least we have made a start towards this goal here.

DaveH Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Not quite what I had in mind Stuart, but what an interesting list. I didn't realise we had a member from our rival school Hurlfield (having apologised somewhere on the site for never taking any pictures of it before it went) So far then, with 5 named members our old school seems to have the most SH members listed, - so there's a sporting challenge to the other schools, - can you beat Norfolk at most members on this site? There are some very good, very popular and very big (student number wise) schools in Sheffield so this one is open to anyone and of course its the school that wins, so for once its a team game! get all your old school mates to sign up to Sheffield History and put a post in the "which school did you go to?" thread to start them posting!

DaveH Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Just had another look at that list, - you can add me again Ashleigh School, DaveH 1974 Remember that quite a few members, due to moving house or going to sixth form (or being expelled) will have been to more than one school.

ukelele lady Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Now this will tell the age of many of us. RichardB is much younger than I thought. I also went to Chaucer, was Mr Newman there when you were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 New Quiz When did Ukelele Lady leave school? Don't lets go down that personal route with quizes again, I abandoned the last one which was "what is the accumulative age of RichardB, Stuart0742 and Waterside Echo after their recent birthdays this week?" because I wanted to respect Waterside Echo's privacy about his age. Perhaps we should do the same for Ukelele Lady. By the way, happy birthday, - same age as me now, free pints won in a quiz on me next time your up here to celebrate!

Waterside Echo Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Now this will tell the age of many of us. RichardB is much younger than I thought. I also went to Chaucer, was Mr Newman there when you were there? I left Chaucer at Easter aged 15. It was just a few weeks after the school had been officially opened by the lord mayor. Mr Newham the deputy head was my teacher then. My year of birth was 80 years after the Great Sheffield Flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that the answer to my previous quiz which I declared null and void would have been that the sum of the ages os Stuart0742, RichardB and Waterside Echo would have been - 165 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 The reason for Stuart0742's request for other schools in Sheffield is that we are trying to put together a schools list but this is proving more difficult than we first thought as many schools have closed, new ones taken their place and older ones which have remained open have changed their names, in some cases several times. For example, Hurlfield Boys School, Hurlfield Comprehensive, Myrtle Springs Springs Academy. How many different names has your school gone under in its history?

Beery Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'd like to add the Boy's Charity School. This school was built in 1706, rebuilt to house more students in 1826, and existed (I think) until about 1911 when it either became the Bluecoat School, or it was superceded by it. I'd love to find out more about the school, as my great great grand uncle is there in the 1901 census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
