cuttsie Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 probably no use to you lot but i left in 1998 was a brilliant school did any of you lot go in the bomb shelter? i didnt Yes the bomb shelter was still open when i was there.There was also an air raid siren on the roof of the infants school which they still used to test up to the fifty,s. We also had house departments that we belonged to I E.Angles, Saxons, Jute's and so on. Some of the teachers where nothing but bully,s i always think that the better dressed you where the better you got treated. One teacher who they say had been a prisoner of war used to beat me up at the slightest opportunity i despise him to this day, still they taught me to read and write so not all bad.

manor lady Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sorry cuttsie but I can't recall any of the people you mention. I was born next door to the Salvation Army Hall on QM road and didn't leave until 1964. I didn't go to P. Edwards seniors so I don't remember the bomb shelters as I think they were in that part of the school yard. I think you are right about some of the teachers being bullies, they were far too hard on young kids and lets face it we were little angels on todays standards!

annier0_0 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I went to Prince Edwards , on the Manor from approx 1954 to about 1964. I lived on Queen Mary Road just below the school and wondered if there are any of my old neighbours or school pals who use this forum. I started secondary school around the time the Gleadless Valley kids joined us until their new school was ready. There were lots of them in our class for the first year. Would love to hear from anyone who was around at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merrydown Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi Dave, yes I remember those names too, plus lots more but not sure whether they were all in our class or just in our year. I remember Mr Swift doing a science experiment that went wrong and he ended up wet through. Of course, we all cracked out laughing so he went round the whole class, giving us the slipper on the hand. At the end of the day he told me and Marlene Bodell to stay behind and he gave us both a packet of sweets. We must have been teacher's pets:hihi: and I think I had a bit of a crush on him after that.
