Gordonb Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well do I remember Newfield Secondary Modern. Was there 1961 to 1965.Mention of the soap box derby brings back one of the funniest memories, the steep hill down to the sports pitch. One of the entrants went fast fast fast towardsthe turn , only didnt turn,the kart hit the kerb head on,came to a sudden and complete stop. The driver unfortunately didnt. The best superman impersonation i have ever seen. He flew head first and dropped out of sight over the hill.The fact that he came out ok was a miracle, but was he a star that day. Think I am the same age as you as I left Sharrow Lane in 1961. Would you have been in the gang show at the 139th cubs/scouts. I remember dressing up with white gloves and having a blacked up face, singing "De Camptown Ladies". How times have changed, probably get arrested if I did that now. Don't live in Sheffield but drove past the old church last week and it is now rubble with the bricks being sold at 80p each. There are a couple of planning applications in for the site if I think right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningman Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just been having a look through all of this thread again. If you are an ex Newfield pupil, especially between 1958 & 63, then give us a contribution and revive some golden memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
