Round House Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My mother, Shirley Marshall (not a computer-user alas) is trying to trace some old school pals from Pye Bank and Burngreave schools. So.. does anyone remember or have contact with Margaret Stocks, June Woodhouse, or Dorothy Shirley. My mother lived at 2 Nottingham St, opposite the Merry Heart pub (1930's early 1940's). She went from Pyebank to Burngreave and then worked at Walsh's Department Store. She remembers the chippy run by the Goodwin sisters. Mr Speight was the headmaster at Pyebank when she was there. Mom got hit with a board rubber by Miss Cross (for leaving the cloakroom door open). She was in Miss Lavericks class at Burngreave and the head was Miss Yates. Dorothy Shirley also lived on Nottingham St and Margaret Stocks lived on Lopham Street. Mom was born 1934. Any info gratefully received and will be passed on. Mom lives in Southport at the moment, but never forgets her Sheffield roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Your Mom is a year younger than me so she would've been around when I was at Pye Bank. Unfortunatly I dont remember any of the names you mention. The only girls I remember were Norma Emmet, Jean Goult, Ann Duty, Brenda Shipway, Shirley Brown, ? Littlewood, ? Gregory and that's about it. Does she recognize any of those names? That Miss Cross was something else though. I can see her now with the iron gray hair, a handsome woman, but with a killer temper.

Round House Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thank you for the reply. I bounced those names of my mother. No recall alas, but she trembled at the mention of Miss Cross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
