Anyone here from Attercliffe?

[RoseHadi]

Hello again

 

I'm in the same boat as you ! The name Rose does ring a distant bell but I can't remember your face either. I know we were both born in 1951 but there is still a possibility the we were in different school years. I was born in April but if you were born from August/September onwards you would have been in the year below me. I left in 1959 when we moved from my nan's house. I then went to Pipworth Road Junior school and from there to the City Grammar - that was in 1962. Once there at least 3 pupils from Woodbourn Road joined me and they were Diane Littlewood, Martin Adshead and David Eblett. If none of those names ring a bell I guess we probably were in different years. I did enjoy those first few years at infant school.

 

Hi Susan

 

I was born in May so I was in the same year as you, I remember Diane, Martin and David and some more names are Janet Palmer, Pat Turner, Susan Johnson, Rita Pearson. Christine Vavjenak, Elaine Kania, Margaret Briggs, Andrea Thompson and Elaine Warren, Trevor Morris and Ian Willetts. You went on to Pipworth Road but I went on to Beaver Hill so you wouldn't know some of the names I mentioned previously.

 

I am Rosemarie Hadi (or Rose), I am half arab so you may remember me by my black curly hair and I was very skinny (although you wouldn't believe it now), I have four brothers and the one next to me was Joseph who was in the year below us, does this ring any bells. The school put on a musical and I played the queen in 'The Marquis of Carabass', Melvyn Howe played the king and Janet Palmer played the princess.

I remember in the 1950's the army dumped lots of stuff in the scrap yard at the back of the Pheasant.As kids we use to play in the tanks and see what we could strip out of them before we were chased off
