Clifflad Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I left Maltby St School in 1957 but I can remember Mrs Needham used to be in charge of the showers then. Teachers I remember were Miss Worral, Mr Beech and it was Mr. Thompson that was head then I think. I remember Rippon Street rec that was the sandy one and Carbrook rec where the nursery was. The Adelphi was the pictures I went to most because my Grandma worked there and she had a complimentary pass that we could use. I was able to take a drive down Newhall Rd a couple of years ago and by the time I was able to get my bearings, we were at Brightside. Did you ever go to the Globe or Pavilion?

carbrook lad Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 really good to read all of the memories and discussions here about living on the 'cliffe',S9, which was never the most celebrated of postocodes. I went to Matby street junior school from 61 to 67. Anyone remebber the dinner lady in charge. I think she was call Mrs Needhan (something like that), she was very formidable and wore a mans watch on her wrist. Other teachers there were Mr Wild? Headmaster, Miss Nugent(used to slap wrists).Does anyone remember the rest? There was always a gang of kids in those days who lived at the top of Newhall Rd. We all lived in Yards, no grass or very little, 2 up2 down, and we would hang around on hte street corners. As we got older we would take the bus into town (what was the number 69?). I can recall the 'hole in the road being built' a big event in those days with underground shops and a fishtank which proved to be a good meeting palced later. Bannners and Woolies and Pierpoints other shops on the cliffe (classics of their time). Corner shops, mums having the 'tick' (shame on them) before pay day. Dads taking snap to work (my day drove the train at Brown Bailey's), working 12 hour shifts with no protection from the Heath and safety at work act which only began in 1974. Saturday mornings at the pavilion cinema(sneaking in free through the back toilets) The sand reck past banners and the circus that used to put on a show once a year. Wow, so many great memories of a a rare unbringing. Enough for now, anyboys recollect any of these? Barnsey hi barnsley dont regret being part of the s9 postcode what fine place to grow up what values our parent taught us lived at carbrook from 1939/62 had all the good times down there we were all in the same boat hard working mostly honest remember walking to maltby st school showers from coleridge rd school the lady in charge was a little bit sharpwith stick she carried still have a great love for the old eastend perhaps it because we are nowall wrinkles going to pavilion,globe adhelfi regal some times the palace regards aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
