manaman Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks for that Hector, do you know any more about the Baggaleys? I went to school with Mick, both at Nether Edge and Sharrow Lane. Any news at all would be welcome. I remember Mick Baggaley at Nether Edge, didn't see him again until about 1982. We were looking to upgrade the fume extraction equipment on one of the 100 ton electric arc steel melting furnaces. This involved modifications to the existing extractor fan. I was most surprised when the fan manufacturer's technical engineer who came to discuss the project with me was Mick. I haven't seen him since.

Thorpy Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Manaman, Was it in Sheffield that you saw Mike? Was the Company that he worked for a Sheffield firm? I too was at Nether Edge with Mike and lived quite close to Bramall Lane where he lived. Perhaps we know each other? Regards, Thorpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was working for the Holset Coupling Division of Peabody Holmes. Holset specialised in large high torque and high speed couplings. They were taken over; first by Holmes, who were manufacturers of very large industrial fans and dust extraction equipment; and they in turn were taken over by Peabody an American process plant conglomerate. The company was based at Huddersfield at that time, but I can't remember where Mike said he lived, so can't help you there. Yes I know you went to Nether Edge. I am on the 1954 panoramic photo of the school as you are. I was in the year below you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpy Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Manaman, Thanks for the information, I've also had a fair bit of news from Hector re. the Baggaley family, but no recent knowledge of Mick's whereabouts. Something may turn up. I've been following the thread about old Sheffield Grammar schools and seen your comments on there. A good old school on the whole I think! Did you go to the re-union in Sheffield this last Summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Thorpy, I thought that the school gave an excellent education to those that wished to access it, whilst at the same time instilling; discipine, the work ethic and teamwork. Essential requirements for surviving successfully in the big wide world. No I did not go to the re-union this last Summer. I wasn't aware of it.
