Anj1364 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Stevo, I am new to Sheffield Forum and have read with interest the threads on Wincobank as my family have lived in the area for years. I was looking at the school photograph you posted from Concord School and did recognise a few faces but I was 2 years behind you. Is the boy in the middle row 2nd from right David Clarke? it does look a lot like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anj1364 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I've driven down Bracken Road this morning on my way to work and there is a sign on the front of, what I knew as, Concord School saying 'end of an era celebration 22nd March' Does anyone know exactly what is going on today. I noticed they have been building a new school on the grounds, and I would love to have a look around the old one before it is demolished. I was there 1972 to 1976.

PW1867 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I was at Concord from 1972 to 1975. These particular profiles brought back so many memories. I never wish anyone ill ( well no too many) but I always wanted something unpleasant & embarrassing to befall the Kemp offspring. I remember the arrogant sod refusing to believe I had written a poem I handed in - what the hell did he know? "Do you remember the History teacher, Kemp with his tedious papier-mache models of Iron Age Wincobank Hill, and his insufferable children who, he would assure us, were always miles in front of us with their studies, and reading several library books at the same time? Mr Cox was a top man. He Really got you thinking for yourself and questioning so many things. My aunt remembers him fondly from when he taught at Brightside. Rupert Cox was Deputy Head [an ex-POW of the Japanese], and a wonderfully dry man. He seldom used his "Shandy" and "Double Diamond" canes, but the threat was there. The pupils loved him, and wished he was the Head rather than Roch. He was such a wise man, the kind that you can really respect. He never allowed his horrendous war experiences to impact upon his teaching, and seemed to be completely at ease with the world." I encountered Mr Roche again later in life - he lived on Parson Cross and was I think Vhurch Warden at St Pauls? on the estate. Not a child friendly man - he often would appear and confiscate the tennis ball we were playng football with in the PLAYGROUND! Timo - I am Colin Bennet's nephew (only 2 years younger) I'll try and get he e-mail from my mum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
