coddy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Didnt go to Firshill school but used to go to the riding stables at the back of the school. Thats a very very long time ago, think it used to cost me a penny or even a halfpenny on the bus from near Firth Park library. I used to ride for half an hour, it was 3 shillings for half and hour 6 shillings and hour, my how times have changed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glover Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I was at Firs Hill Primary during those years. The photograph you referred to in last Saturday's Star showed, amongst many others, an image of a boy who always struck me as a brilliant footballer in the making. His name - he's on the front row - was Michael Parkin, and after leaving Firs Hill, Michael and I both went to Firth Park Grammar School. If anyone cares to look at the hoardings on the Moor directly opposite Poundland, they will see there a Firth Park Grammar School class photo which once again includes Michael Parkin. It was our first year at senior school, and we were both in the same form. I write about school life in my new memoir, Headlong into Pennilessness, which has just been serialised in The Star. Two questions: what happened to Michael Parkin? And if any of the reader of this post were my classmates, do get in touch. Michael Glover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallywags Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I was there from I think, Sept 1953 for a year or two before moving to Hackenthorpe. Lived in those days at 24(?) Goddard Hall Road. My sister Susan was there before that. Is there a link on the internet for this picture? Would love to see it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
