Texas Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Regarding the teachers at Burngreave Secondary Modern (ahem, kof,kof). I left in 1948 and the ones in power back then were Snell;Rawlins;King; Holdsworth;Brittain;Gosney; and top of the heap Mr Scowcroft. How I remember him, always reminded me of that teacher in the Giles cartoons, with the glasses and all. That or a Gestapo officer. Anybody remember his office with the highly polished floor? I had to go in there once and I skidded on my ass and he made me go out and enter again. The next time I nearly finished up across the desk. Oh yes though, he made me do it again. Not my favorit teacher of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falls Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi all, new to Sheffield Forum. Came across this this thread and read all the posts. It brought back a lot of good memories as i was brought up in pitsmoor in the 60s. I remember all the shops mentioned and the White House Chippie. My friend Wendy Nightingale parents owned it. I lived on Nottingham St facing the old police box and few yards from the co-op with my 3 brothers Paul, Kevin and Gary and my sister Denise. Kids we used to go about with were, Kevin, Paul and Sylvia Burns, Steve and Trevor Ellis, Joan and Jackie Shepherd Roger Froggart, Robin Crow, Steve Broadhust, Marie Staff. Susan Fitton and many others. More or less we all went to Pye Bank School and Burngreave School. Many great times i had at Pitsmoor. Havnt been there in years, has it changed much? HI, Where exactly did you live on Nottingham Street? My Grandparents live at No.72 (corner of Monfort Street) from about 1930 until the mid 1950's. The policemen at the box used to come to the house to make their tea and sometimes warm up food. All a long time ago. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
