Hi Brian,

I remember your name but can't conjour up a picture of you face.

Did you remember Greame Robinson who lived on Swanbourne |Place, his father was a policeman, do you remember the Fawcett twins who lived in the same place and chad a younger sister called Francis who used to be in my class.

I remember Allan Webster and hated him because he was Joyces boyfriend at that time.

Yes there were good times but I think we forget the rubbish bits.

I was there from nursery to J4, left in 1960. Mr Crossley was my teacher

for J3 & J4. It was a lovely little school, all pre-fab buildings, they were going to knock it down for ever - until they finally did..... so many children passed through that school, many went on to achieve much success.

 

My favourite teacher was Miss Meggison, she was my teacher for J1 & J2,

such a lovely lady, all of our class were invited to her wedding. She left the school and moved to Rutland, she had twin boys so I heard. I have tried to find her, to thank her for being such an inspiring teacher, over the years without success.

 

Alan Belk, was your sister (Joyce) May Queen ?

 

I also went to the Youth Club in later years. Stan Cooke was the Leader,

her was such a lovely gentleman.

 

 

 

Yes Joyce is my sister, she lives in Matlock at the moment, she has two daughters called Sarah and Suzanne.

I remember Joyce Simmonite, she did have two other sisters, the oldest was called Pauline, I can't remember the name of the middle one, Joyce was the youngest and the most attractive, she was film star quality. Can't think of anyone who could match her for looks.

 

 

Just remembered, the middle sisters name was Lillian, on reflection all three were good lookers, they just got better the cyounger they were.

was May Queen. I think I was in one of her retinues, possibly the year

she came back after leaving Lindsay Rd school. it would be great if she could post them. Thank you.

Hi Brian thanks for posting. My dad married Maureen Colton who lived on Deerlands Avenue, do you know her too? Unfortunately my dad passed away in Jan last year (you may already know that - news travels on 'the cross'!). Uncle Chuck is still around, as is Teddy Wittles. Thats the comment most used about my dad (and my mum funnily enough) the twinkly eyes, and they twinkled right up to the end! I'll remember you to Uncle chuck when I next see him. We have some photos of them both on the back garden training (and posing!) but they are just of the 2 of them no one else. I'd love to see the photo that you have, and maybe copy it for my mum?
