I started teaching at Shiregreen Middle School in the late seventies.. Kids include Andy Matthews, Gary Fothergill, Rowding Family, Flint Family, Walches etc Teachers were Pete Inman, Bernard Priest, Gwen Marsden, Mike Mahoney, Jim Friar, Dave Hutton etc.

 

I attended shiregreen school around 77/81,my form teacher in 77 was a mrs kemp i was in the infants then,i remember mr priest as he was my form teacher when i went up to the juniors,our classroom was the old huts below the main building & man he was strict,then my next form teacher was mrs marsden (didn't she play the piano during assembly?)i heard she passed away sadly,mr mahoney was a teacher i remember fondly,mr inman wasn't he the deputy head?mr hutton rings a bell as does mr hut.

It was very sad to read what a sorry state Shiregreen is in now. I have the happiest of memories of my time there. Our family moved to Deep Lane from Wincobank just after the war and we finally moved when my brother died in 2004, that's 57 years. To me as a youngster it had everything I needed: plenty of open spaces to play on, thick woods to explore, the lively church of St James & St Christopher where all my friends sang in the choir,we formed a youth club and generally had a most exciting and fulfilling time. We were in and out of most of our neighbours houses and everyone helped one another. Our next door neighbour won best kept garden in Sheffield for several years running so we had something to look up to. I now live in Loughborough and have recently retired and would love to hear from others from that golden era.

used to deliver milk down there in the 50 with my old mate charlie before ernie took over
