I can remember exactly how st clements road looked & picture walking up the yard to my grand parents house as if it was yesterday. I can even remember how the lay out of the furniture was, & looking over the boards at the top to watch the trains go by. Such special times. I miss those days.

What a great photo. My first school in 1958ish. Did not like starting school but loved my teacher Miss Rock.

Seeing the photo of the old square from 1969 brought back memories, especially with the gaumont cinema visible. I first saw the sound of music there with my mum.

I remember my father talking about the Jelf's. Sadly, he is no longer alive, so not able to get more info from him. If I remember correctly, my dad used to go to school with one of the jelf's. Unfortunately, I do not remember which one or at what school this was.

Hello Norfolk Brummie. I too used to go under the duck boarding, but only to collect items for teachers that was dropped. Very messy under there, but being small, it was easy not to get stuck.

I do not understand why your uncle & aunt could not get on with Miss Buckley. I found her to be one of the nicest people I have ever met, though I was just 11 when I first met her when I attended the school in 1965 & left in 1969. She taught me respect. I know she retired when I left & have not...

I used to live next door to that chippy in Potters Hill, which is now potters lane. If my memory serves me well, I think our door number was 20. Just down from the chippy toward the bartons arm was a sweet shop. I think it was known locally as John's. This was around 1958-1964 i think. We had...

I lived at number 20, but do not remember the pawn brokers. I think I may have been too young to notice. The traffic lights were at the aston road end.

I used to live at 20 Bracebridge street in the 60's. The traffic lights were at the aston road end. I got knocked down by a coal lorry at those lights while going to the post office for my mum. Did not lose any of the money though. I went to elkington street school when I lived there. Only...

The first photo is how I remember the quadrangle veranda. From how I remember it, the dining room was by where the photo was taken from, then the gym/assembly room & at the far end, just down the steps, was the nurses room, & at the far end of that corridor was the entrance to my dormitory...

Seeing those photo's has taken me back in time. I don't remember the boating pool, but remember the dormitories. They were not nice to sleep in. (always getting picked on when asleep). Liked it better when I got old enough to move up to the block in 1967/8. I remember the dining room was next to...

Hello Belinda. I had the same feeling when I discovered this site. All the memories came flooding back (some good, some bad). I was at hunters hill across the road in 1965 - 1969 & one of the things I remember well is you girls coming over to us occasionally when we had a film or dance night...

Hello norfolk brummie. I went to hunters hill open air school too. I was there from 1965 to July 1969 when I left school. Miss Buckley was still head mistress & was very helpful.

I spent 4 years at Hunters Hill from 1965 to July 1969 when I left school. I hated it at first & ran away a few times, but after spending a long time talking to our head mistress (Miss Buckley), I got used to it. I was not to keen on some of the teachers though as they used to pick on me. I was...
