louan Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Wonder how many of us know each other. Anyone go to Western Road in the 50's ? Went to infants, juniors and seniors, left in 1957. Love to hear from anyone who was there with me such as Margaret Roberts, Jean Beaumont, Vivienne, Pauline (can't remember their surnames) just to mention a few. I lived on Bates Street, but still don't know whether that's Crooks or Walkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louan Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 You're just a couple of years older than me thenk perhaps you remember practising the steps to make the Union Jack (I think all the schools in Sheffield took part and we all had to go to Hillsborough Stadium?) because the Queen came.

USUK Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 k perhaps you remember practising the steps to make the Union Jack (I think all the schools in Sheffield took part and we all had to go to Hillsborough Stadium?) because the Queen came. I do remember that but I think only the girls did the flag thing. It was at the Wednesday ground. I remember her going round in the open Land Rover and the little blue pen knives they gave us boys. (imagine that today :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louan Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Can't remember what we girls got but now you mention it I do remember the penknives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I remember getting a blue penknife and going to the Wednesday ground, the Queen also came down the main road of Crookes in an open air tram, and came out to wave to all the people who flocked outside the Cutlers Hall that Night to catch a glimpse of her.

Elmambo Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I remember the blue penknives clearly Skippy ( hope you are keeping well ). They were blue plastic with a gold logo and a single blade. I think they were made by Richardsons - it being deemed appropriate, for a City famous for it's cutlery to give these to the boys. Nowadays, it would be unthinkable unless accompanied by an ASBO. The girls were given a small pair of scissors. My abiding memory is that all the pocket knives broke when you tried to use them ! They were complete rubbish. I don't recall HMQ, riding down Crookes in an open tram, but I was certainly sent to the Wednesday ground to see the Royal couple. They drove round the ground in an open car and I remember thinking that they were heavily made-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I remember going to the Wednesday ground too...still using the scissors that the girls got. So they must have been good quality !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmambo Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Great. I wonder if any one out there still has a penknife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
