Cheshire memories
Growing up in Bredbury
I was born in Romiley in 1951 and went to Bredbury County Primary School and then to Highfield Secondary Modern. I have written a book called Confessions of a Kid all about Growing up In Bredbury and Romiley. The primary school has since been demolished; could anyone tell me when that crime was commited? any relevant information on those times would be of interest.
Barrack Hill School And The Woods
I was beginning to think Barrack Hill School had never existed. At the moment I've been trying to get information on the school; so any memories you have would be a great help. Do you remember the teachers, especially Mrs. Guyton, Mr. Hume, Mr. Hibert, Mr. and Mrs. Garlic? Some of my friends were Pete Norry, John Pemperton and Graham Cook, I had a crush on Carol Gregson, and Lyn Morton (from Morton's farm). I was in the school choir and head milk boy. I used to play in the Chadkirk woods; we used to get our conkers from there (I loved those woods) We were always going on walks near the black and white farm and another of our favorite playgrounds were the woods near Bredbury Hall (we called it Bluebell Woods); we were told not to go near Bredbury Hall because it was haunted. Happy days?
BARRACK HILL SCHOOL
I too was born at Bredbury in 1951 and attended Barrack Hill Primary School from
1957-1962. then went on to Highfield. I have a good memory of those early days and recall teachers such as ( juniors) Mrs.Ridley. Mrs. Lambert, Mrs Gyton. Miss Palmer. ( seniors) Miss Heaton. Mr. Brown. Mr. Garlick.
Some class mates I recall (in no particular order) were Christopher Needham. Brian Eyre.
Clifford Richardson. Robert Lambert. Anthony Booth. Peter Sullivan. Alan Timperley.Barry Harrop.
The girls I recall were : Judith Garlick ( daughter of the teacher) Janet Pruce, Susan Dean.Harvene Stenton. I have fond memories of those days. Playing football and rounders in the school playground and forever knocking/kicking the ball into the garden of the house next to the playgound !
I also recall the lollipop lady outside the school and cenotaph. She was a neighbour on our's a Mrs. Annie.Wood. Her son Kevin also attended Barrack Hill. Another memory was marching each morning into assembly and listening to the Headmaster Mr.... Read more
Barrack Hill School
I was born in Bredbury in 1941 and went to Barrack Hill School, I remember Mrs Gyton, Mrs Heaton, Mrs Stannier. I also remember the dinner meals being delivered to the school in milk churns. Later a Kitchen and Dining Room was built. I think another Teacher was called Mrs or Miss Roper? I left that school and went to Bredbury Secondary Modern School, leaving in summer 1956. Teachers there were Mr Kershaw, Mr Robertshaw, Mr Douglas, Mr Taylor, Mr Carduss, Mr Blakeman Mr Masters, Mr Benion?, the Head Teacher was Mr J. C. Edwards. One place I remember playing was a field where Hopwoods scrap yard used to scrap the old tramcars. I also remember walking past Black and White Farm with my parents on Sundays on a regular afternoon walks. Also with friends Peter Whyatt, Alan Farr, and others going onto the island in the River Goyt near the wier, lighting a fire and cooking potatos. I left Bredbury in 1960 when I got married. returning in... Read more
BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE
I went to St Marks. My memory was a teacher called Miss Briggs. She read a book called Albert Shwietser - I might have spelt the name wrong - but you could hear a pin drop as she read this book - just a few chapters each week until it was finished. We played in the air raid shelters at playtime when the teachers had coffee; you could smell it all over the school. I remember a lad called Harry who was blind. He just stood in one place at playtime - we felt sorry for him. Miss Newton was teacher - she played the piano - a tune called The Merry Peasant. I saw her years later at my daughters christening.
St Mark's School, Dukinfield
I went to this school from 1964 - 1970. It has now been demolished. The head teacher was Mrs Finneran and some of the teachers were Miss Baba, Mr Sloane, Mr Cook, Mrs Bintcliff and Miss Hooley. On the corner of the school was a sweet shop called 'Blue Taylors' because the owners were called Taylor and the shop was painted blue. We used to go to St Mark's Church for services at Christmas. I used to go home for my dinner as I lived very near. There were 2 playgrounds, one for the infants and one for the juniors. When I was in the infants, we didn't have paper to write on, but had a small blackboard and tin which contained your eraser and chalk. We kept them on the back of our chairs in a little bag which you had to take home at the end of term to get washed.
I remember being in the choir and we stood on a small stage in front of... Read more
From 1947
My surname was Lesley Hulland, it would be nice to remember if anyone remembers me, I lived at Rabbit Burrow Farm until I was 15. I was baptised at St George's church and married there but am divorced now. I went to school at Poynton primary and then on to the secondary school. I was involved at the social centre where I was in many pantos, and did ballet there for 7 years. I live in Crewe now and have 2 grandchildren and 2 sons. My mother was born and bred in Poynton, and I have a famous great-grandmother who was on the stage and had a house built called The Homestead on Chester Road, Poynton, sadly it is no longer there. The headmaster at the secondary school was Mr Wyche, I also remember Mr Sutcliffe and Mrs Robinson, and Miss Tiffin, to name but a few. I have to say I miss Poynton and the dear memories it still holds for me, when we moved from the farm we went to... Read more
