Yes,I went to Hartley Brook from 1955 to 1959 when I left to start work.

 

In my first year I was in Mr Smith's class, second year Ms Dixon's class, third year Bob Hutchinson's class & finished up in my last year in Mr

Gallagher's class.

I went there from about 59 to 63. Teachers were Mr Inman, (beast) Mr Southerd Mr gallagher (great) Miss Dixon, Mr Hutchinson snr Mr Hutchinson (weird) Mr Webster (fabulous).

 

Anyone know what happened to Mr Southerd I think he transferred to Myers Grove after I left.

 

Mr Southard died some 15/20 years ago of a brain disorder. Not only was he one my teachers, he also became a close neighbour of mine in later years

I was at HB from 1965 to 1966.

Mr Gallagher was the Geography teacher, married to the Art teacher. I met him a few years ago at the Ranmoor Conservation Society that I was chairing and we had a polite disagreement about some Victorian house balustrading that I thought would look better in oak and mahogany, and he defended, quite rightly, the beautiful metal balusters in the photos. He was our Rugby coach and in 1966 we were the first team to beat Hurlfield Boys at Rugby in a match at Corcord Park. I remember Jean France and Steve Smith, John Strutt, and a horrible music teacher called Mr Inman who swung from the rafters with metronomic timing. I left to go to Central Technical School in Gleadless with 4 other boys.

We beat Hurlfield in 1962 Price cup final at Hurlfield.
