Recommended Posts

i remember miss whitley i hated her and i remember mrs lowe and mr stevens

 

By you've got a good memory, other things I remember are:

Silent film shows at christmas

Rounders in the playground and a competition at Abbeydale School

A shop we made out of empty boxes and cans in one of the clasrooms.

playing the triangle when we had music ( I never got to play the drum)

Dancing - only one i can remember is the Tarentella and

The school christmas Navity play - I played an Innkeeper and can even remember my line - I have no room, there is no room (eat your heart out Mel Gibson).

But what about the pubs, my parents used to frequent the Wheatsheaf and Stag, I think the buildings are still there but are used for other things. I had a couple of mates round there Alan Gleeson and Brian Allen. Also in those days of course phone were few and far between, I can remember having to walk from Manners Street to the railway bridge near the Stag to use a phone.

Manners St was at the bottom of Rutland Rd, under the Railway Bridge and sharp right. It followed the rail embankment.

A quick glance at Google Earth indicates that it is still there, but the sumptious houses that we all lived in are of course long gone.

I was also in the Nativity play, as a little angel, a photo exists of me looking a lot cuter that I do now.
