alantalbot Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I went to Woodbourn Road from 1950 till 1960 I suppose, infants and juniors.I remember Mrs Hill, head mistress and Mrs Gleadhall. Mr Gleadhall was there too, plump little guy. i remember the pre fab classrooms and a girl called Diana Wells with ringlets. Janet Haskins, Sylvia Fletcher and Rene Denial were in my class too although poor Rene was killed in an accident in the 70's in Australia, I think. Stuart Gregory and Colin Hales and Jimmy Harley I remember and Robert Smith. The Bishops, who lived on Cottingham Street I knew well and used to call Mrs Bishop Aunty Dot and loved being in her house even tho there was not much room you were always welcome and fed along with all her kids! This forum is GREAT for a walk down memory lane. I live in Spain now, but ofter 'pop' in to catch up. Hi Mr Gleadhall was a teacher when I started school in 1945 taught RI ¤t affairs if you did wrong he used smack your backside with a piece of wood about 12x3x1 inch, and he enjoyed it. I believe he met his wife when he took us by tram to visit Attercliffe Docks and she was with a group from another school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
