Hurfield secondary modern school

[Miffa49]

I went to Hurlfield Secondary modern from 1960 to 1964. I remember when I was 13 years old that one of our class mates died . I believe his name was Roy Norton. The class went to his funeral at City Road Cemetery. have I got his name right or was it another name? Can anyone remember?

 

Roy Noton died 4th. Jan. 1962 aged 12. He lived on Duke St. His Mother and Father had a fruit/veg shop below Red Lion.by the way is that Mick Justice?

I was at Hurlfield with you and Manor Lane before that , Alan Smith mate.

to miffa 49----dont think our paths ever crossed---as I left in 59--but in our class was a lad called Ashley Peach--whose parents had (I think) a grogery shop below the Red Lion (now shut)--always remember seeing their name above door for years after I left school as I sat on the 95 along Duke St and City Road---just a co-incidence about the lad who died I thought

As you say our paths never crossed but I can assure you that Roy Noten lived

with his parents at the fruit & veg shop.He was at Manor Lane School and went up to Hurlfield with myself and many others.My aunt and uncle lived

at the back of the old doctors surgery on Dacre Street, my aunt was a friend of Roy's mother and I played with him many a Saturday morning as a nipper.

Strange how things turn out mate isn't it?

Hi I am still wanting to make contact with boys who went to Hurlfield 61 to 65 come on lets have a reunion.

 

Was there 61 to 66. No longer in Sheffield but would make the trip.

Posted some comments early in this thread.

I went to Hurlfield between 1971-76 it was great, as a boy we had to put up with RollerMania (Anyone remember that?), Donny Osmond, David Cassidy etc.

 

Our teacher was Mrs Ashberry, great teacher, she had to put up with a lot of rowdy kids. She had an husband called Keith and a daughter called Katie, regards to them.

 

The Sing A Long and Doozie in the youth centre took a lot of my sixpences in the dinner hour (Thoroughly enjoyed it), I was not exactly a Pinball Wizard.

 

And boy do I remember Ms Woof, she was stunning, her first name was Vivian if I'm not mistaken. She ought to have an appreciation society, she gave so many boys the first look at a real babe.

I think Harry Whitehouse should be on the list and believe he took that 4B class for Drama?? Also didn't we have a guy called something like Peter D'oyle Carter for lesson in English??

 

Also on the boys list I think maybe Jim Otley, David Bates, Tony Wragg, Graham Crump, Roy Rastrick, Terry Dobson, David Beard also a lad called...Robinson? I stand corrected if some of these lads were in other level 4 classes. Sad to here about Roger he was a good guy and befriended me, as I only did years 3 and 4 at Hurlfield which could be a tough age to enter a new school!

 

Lastly one of our year has posted a photo of the class on Friends Reunited ...would love to know if anybody can name the lads on the photo especially the back row!!

 

I know one English teacher Turton .

i was there 63/68 i remember turton and greenoff, i met the later in our lodge a few year ago, and reminded him joking that he had given me the slipper lol, we also recalled when that lovely deputy or head teacher arrived forget her name, she was a real stunner, he told most of the male staff were stuck too
