Hurlfield (correct spelling)

Oh dear, - our old rivals.

Many a fight was fought between us in Northern Avenue shopping centre.

However, -

1)

We did get to use the Hurlfield School swimming pool as we didn't have one and it was a long treck by bus down to Park Hill baths.

2)

Later ended up doing my first teaching practice there

3)

After school got to know some ex students of Hurlfield really well and became good friends. Also got to know a couple of the staff which helps when you're training to be a teacher.

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.

I've just found this old pic of Mr Newham's class of boys taken in July 1958, just after the school was opened but before the 'official' opening. The building in the background has now been demolished.

older than me.

Lucky you u/lady. All just a year older than me. I can only put names to 3 faces, all ex Hillfoot and P W S lads. Top centre Michael Oates, next but one to the right is Peter Devoto and next to him on the end is John Kyte. W/E.

Would that be Michael Oades W/E seem to just remember the face and could that be David Knowles next to him on the left, very hazy on these.

[Guest GRUMPY]

I left Hillfoot easter 1958, does anybody remember miss Hamerton ? What a doll !

My favourite teachers mr Johnson and harry dowson. Most of the rest were homicidal. Headmaster mr Simmons number one. Does anyone remember him being knocked off his cycle by the mother of a pupil ? He had overdone it with the cane as usual. He broke his arm. So sad.

GRUMPY.

BRADFIELD SCHOOL late 50's

Never went to Bradfield school but like now schools had coaches to pick up and take the school kids home. My late father and my uncle use to do this job for my grandfather who had Whiteleys Coaches. There job was to pick up and deliver the school kids from Bradfield school from Dam Flask and the Strines area.

One Christmas in order we had heavy snow and in order that they could check the route to pick the kids up on the return to school after the Christmas break we went out in my grandfathers Vauxhall Cresta to do the ru over the weekend. everything was clear goimg out of Low Bradfield. As we went up the hill they use to go across an escarpment (which is now badley overgrown now and you wouldn't get a coach across) that was impassable because of the snow. So we went up to a junction and turned left at the top(road clear). About 100yds down the road we hit a snow drift which emersed the car. My father and uncle got out to try and get some help as they knew one of the school kids lived at the next farm down the road. Meanwhile I was in the white tomb being shoved sideways by the drift (about 8 yrs at the time very frightened. After what seemed an age the came back with the lad driving the tractor and pulled the car out of the drift and we went on our way. Needless to say they didn't pick the kids up for school that week.

A sad side to this story was that the lad commited suicide shortly after and I never knew his name. Would love to make contact with any of the school. kids they use to pick up

[Guest Alan Dennis]

Nether Edge Grammar 1939 - 1945.

Anyone still around? Headmaster Mr. Smith. Renowned English master, L. Buchan. Absolute swine, but a good teacher.

Me? I am Alan Biggin, living then in Bocking Lane. Remarkably, still alive.

My cycling pal was Pete Warren, of (then) Westwick Road.

[Mike Smith]

My wife went to Hurlfield Girls School on Hurlfield Road from 1959 to 1964. Her brother went to the Central Technical School on Gleadless Road from 1965 to 1968. I believe the following year these two schools merged to form Ashleigh School. Are there any ex-Hurlfield Girls out there?
