Rowlinson Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I attended western rd infants juniors and senior school and left school at 15 as the school closed and all my year pupils that stayed on went to the newly built crosspool secondary modern.the year 1965. on first joining school the large playground belonged to the infant school i believe it is now used as the hall for school dinners and just a few classrooms.The junior school had the dentist underneath this is now the nurseryand upstairs first school ..............The largest of the building with the glass roof some of which blew in during the gale of1963? cant remember but it was fun climbing over trees on springvale rd going through all the connecting doors to get to the loo without using the hall no mention of days off due to health and safety regulations ,laugh and get on with it.My children also attended westways as it became and we had three children in school when we moved out of sheffield,i would like to note my daughter had one of my teachers teaching her when she got to middle school at thirty plus she still put the fear of god up me. will close now and keep checking site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAIRBOY Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi CB Yes, I'm sure I was in Miss Exley's 4A. Maybe the year after you. Top of our class was always Clifford Alsop who lived at the vicarage on the corner of Western Road and the road where St. Timothy's was on. I also remember James Ellis passing the 11 plus to go to King Teds along with Clifford. Geoff http://oldedwardians.org.uk/nlc/photos/60.1(1).html James Ellis at King Ted's - end of lower middle row.

P.Lonsdale Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hello Geoff, of course I remember you. In fact I think it was your bike I wreckred when I came off on the cycle track round the cookhouse. It cost me 1/6d at Ernie Holdens to have 3 spokes put back in. Hope you are keeping well. I have just taken Edgar Blagden out for ameal. He has been laid up for about 10 years now with chronic back pain. Bob Smith told me about this site. I am glad he did. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about the cook house, do you remember when most of us youngsters were taken in by a guy who worked there. He said he was Joe Nibloe and joined in with our games of football between the cook house and the changing rooms. He turned out to be called Brian. I remember that he rated Denis Collingswood as a good player and kind of intimated that he could get him a trial at the Lane. I have mention Dave Bennison on this site before without response. Was it only me that thought he was a really good player? Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
