First Job
I left school in June 1969 and worked at Albert Watter's farm in Dalton Pava . I delivered milk with one of his sons - sorry, can't remember his name. The delivery vehicle was a horse and cart. I can remember the horse's name though, she was called Dolly. We used to deliver milk to East Herringthorpe.

Schooltime Memories.
In the early 1940s the bay window on the first floor over the front door of Rotherham Grammar School was that of my second form classroom. On a rainy day we were 'attacked' by one of the other second forms as a result of which I was pushed through one of the windows. Fortunately the wartime shatterproof gauze in place prevented me and the window from falling to the ground. Several of us received six of the best for that lunchtime episode!
My School
This is my school from 1975 to 1980 when it was known as Clifton Comprehensive and not Rotherham Girls High School. although when I was a first year, there were only 2 years above me that were part of the comprehensive system - year 4 & 5 were still of the old high school, all girls, so it only changed to a comprehensive in 1973.
Memories Of Clifton Park
I lived near Clifton Park for a number of years. My memories take me back to WW2. During the Summer months my friends and I used to play football,we put our coats down for the goals, we had a good game and arguments too. When we played cricket we played it properly as one of my friends had a bat and wickets.
Every Whitsuntide all the Sunday schools had a Parade to the Bandstand in the park and had a service. During the WW2 there was the Holiday at Home fortnight. There was an open Theatre named the "Alfresco" where the local Dancing Schools and Bands entertained the public. Also there were Donkey rides, Roundabouts, Swings and sand. At the bandstand in the early evening there was Uncle Archies Sunshine corner. There were singing contests - the winner got a bag of sweets. Later in the evening was dancing round the bandstand with a local dance band.

Thomas Rotherham College
I went to this school in 1983 to take my A Levels. It was then called (and still is) the Thomas Rotherham College. It is lovely to hear about other people's memories of this place from long before I arrived there! I adored my time there (albeit only 2 short years) and made some strong and lasting friendships.
Pupil
This was my high school from 1960 to 1967. I particularly remember the school dinners and the extensive playing fields. Back then we had 3 hockey pitches, 3 hard tennis courts and 13 grass courts. Not to mention the air raid shelters. Since I have lived in Australia since graduating from uni I wonder what remains of those facilities now?
