johnpm Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I was at school 1949 -1960, Owler Lane Infants, Grimesthorpe Junior, 1 year at Hucklow then to Hinde House when it opened. During that time I had my hand writing style changed twice started with loops then first change get rid of the loops then second change put loops back in - any surprise that since then my handwriting has been rubbish !! I hardly do any handwriting now thanks to computer - probably a good job !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Person6 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Cursive, in the early sixties. We used dip pens with the inkwell in the desk. the inkwell was filled for the handwriting lesson and emptied back into the gallon can at the end of the lesson. My handwriting was, and remains, sloppy but I did calligraphy for a few months at Art college and discovered I was naturally good at it. Handwriting is becoming a serious issue again in schools because children are expected to do extended amounts of handwriting for some exams but are not experiencing it at any other time.

wmoham001 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 At Hucklow Road school I was taught italic handwriting by Mrs Boyson. This was around 1974. Mrs Boyson was a great teacher. She was my teacher in 1994 Brilliant person and a wonderful teacher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
