Thanks for the link ceegee, I've just been looking around at that site and have come across two pics featuring youngish looking teachers that I remember although when I knew them they were a bit older, Linstead and Ramsbottom

G.F.Linstead (George) was the music critic of the Halle concerts in the 60's at Sheffield City Hall for the old Morning Telegraph.

Probably just the ghost of me having a tormented violin lesson in 1978. How I loathed those times.

Thanks for the link Ceegee - my Mum was at this school in the 1930s and she loved it and although I went right next door to Abbeydale Girls Grammar in the 50s, there was so much foliage around the Grange buildings that I never spotted the old houses.

Never heard the stories , but I was one of the first infants to be transferred from Carterknowle (which took Infants & Juniors in 1953) to new single storey building Holt House Infants school . Loved it .

I went to Grange Grammar School for girls from 1954 to 1962. Holt House was one of the two mansion type buildings used by the school. The other was The Grange. I understand both no longer stand. There were also many prefab type classrooms and a hall/gym. Abbeydale Girls Grammar was next door and later the boys school. My headteachers were Miss Reid and Miss Rawlings and Dr Green was head of Abbeydale. I can still remember lots of the teachers. I now live in Worcestershire.
