Mr Jelly Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Does anyone have any information about Peter Mason who was in the same class (5B) as I was at Firth Park Grammar School and left in 1949. I then met Peter again, after I left the RAF in1954, and we were in the dust research section at the Safety in Mines Research Establishment on Potobello Street in Sheffield. I would like any information about Peter as looking back on my life I remember what a good bloke he was. Our section leader (boss) was Dai O`Connor a Welshman, who I had a great respect for and liked. I also remember a Steve Howarth who was in a different section and was a decent photographer and a hill climber I remember he had a Leica.He also was taking up the clarinet when I was there.In our dust research section was Doug Tye, another nice bloke, who at the time was studying for his Bsc degree. I lost contact with them all. I hope they have had a decent life, as I have fond memories of being with them, before I left and joine the BBC as an engineer.

jjbarnesfan Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 http://firthparkgrammarschool.wordpress.com is the new address for the FPGS website. Steve James must be applauded for the time and effort he has and is continuing to put into this website. I believe the previous website was subject to numerous hacking attempts and it will take him some time to get it back to how it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheffMG Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 When i went there it was called Brushes (If i've got the right place) and we spent half our time at Brushes and the other half at Firth Park school on Bellhouse road.

It was mixed sex when i was there. That's correct in later years. This thread is about the years when it was a Grammar School for boys. Use the search facility and you'll find there is another thread about the later years when it became a comprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
