Unsure on the exact dates as school ages may have differed then, but he was born in March 1958, so imagine he'd have started circa September 1969. Sadly passed away in 2015. Does anyone remember a John Naylor? Lived on Firth Park Crescent. Sorry I don't remember your brother John Naylor, he was 4 years younger than me, so I wouldn't have known him and I came from Walkley anyway. My commiserations on his passing away at such a relatively, young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 On 26/04/2020 at 16:35, Walesblade said: Hi, another one I can't see mentioned is De La Salle College, Scott Road. I believe it closed in the late 70's with pupils moving to All Saints on Granville Road. Also Notre Dame ceased to be a girls-only school and a number of De La Salle boys attended. I was a pupil at De La Salle from 1964 - 1969 and was formerly a pupil of St. Patrick's, Sheffield Lane Top. Have i got it wrong that De la Salle became St Peters? My older brother went to De la Salle, I went to notre dame and in around 1984 St Peters closed and merged with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 St Joseph's at walkely closed in think in 1981, now turned into apartments. Notre Dame Cavendish site closed and demolished, man that was a scary building, think its new city centre living apartments, I'd not have one for free, the white lady is probably still there 👻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess De La Salle lost it's funding when there was a levelling down of education to send everyone to Comprehensive education. You can tell how I feel about that!

southside Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 This Britain From Above photograph shows St Matthias School on Napier Street! it was taken in the early 1950s. Don't know when the school closed? I do know the empty building was used as temporary warehouse/office by The Sheffield Twist Drill in 1961. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both had the headmaster of Mr Fortesque. He Live in a house build in the grounds. The site has now new houses on it.

I attended St Mathias in the mid-50s I lived down the road at Angus Sq, the only thing I remember about the school was getting a right smack across the face from a teacher after going to her desk to ask a question, the smack which almost made me black out left my face was like a tomato on one side, so my mother went and had words with the teacher, it never happened again, I must have been about 5/6 years old, ah well life was somewhat more strict in those days.

Athy Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 That looks grim. It even has battlements and a watchtower, no doubt with armed nuns on guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
