Sorry OldMo, I wish I had, but didn't. Some great pics in your set, thanks for that. You know I thought what you call shabby is what made spring Hill for me. I remember going to Silver Blades when it was new, and hated it. The Nottingham Rink was very much like Spring Hill and was so full of...

Came on looking for references to the old rink. Last night I went skating for the first time in about 30 years. At nearly 64 I was very cautious and pretty useless. But then I'm thinking about the old days. I started going to Spring Hill in about 1962, survived with awful hire boots for the...

Re: Rookery rd School, Photos Please Hello Jenniewren, I was at Rookery Road for that time, you were probably a year behind me though, I left in 1959. Don't remember your name, but then possibly memory fails after all this time. Who else do you remember? Some of my memories are to do with The...

I have just caught up with this write up, as I am searching for some details about St James' school as well. My mother and aunt went to a school with that name, in Edgbaston in the 1930's. They believe it was a secondary school though, so maybe there is a different school, but I cannot find any...

Re: Rookery rd School, Photos Please I was at Rookery Road Juniors from 1953 to 1959. I have posted a school photo on friendreunited if you want to catch up with me there. https://www.friendsreunited.co.uk/Album.page/Album?albumKey=5067875&albumType=-1&member_key=5067875&mediaKey=19296675

billwalkey99, the handle Lewis is in fact my middle name, Robert Raithby is the first and last. It would be interesting to know how some old boys are doing these days, I'm sorry but I don't remember your name, if that is your real one that is.

Thanks jennyann. Your searches got far better results than mine it seems. I did find one and am waiting for an email back from them, but yours will give me an alternative. Thanks for taking the time.

1959 to '64 here. I was at City Road 1st, 3rd and 4th years, with 2nd and 5th at Five Ways. Rumsey was a very good head. I can still hear Walkers footsteps as he came out to the inter joining single story buildings where we 'fags' were housed for our first year, and I can still feel the silence...

I was just wrenched back into my days as a schoolboy when I used the old Midland Educational outlet many time, for all sorts of things. The specific thing that brought me back this time was basket makers willow. At some point, when I was about 10, I made a basket from this stuff. Now here I am...
