Reg Leadbeater

Market Street c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was born in Chesterfield but my parents, Reg and Joan Leadbeater, owned and ran the shop in the archive picture with "Players" above the shop front during the 1950's. It was predominantly a tobacconist/sweet and toy shop. I was brought up there and went to Camm's Junior School. My contemporaries were Andrew Hardwick, Andrew Tatlow (his father was the local optician, and had the shop opposite), Robert Round, Margaret Malliband, Ann Davies and others. Is there anyone who remembers me? Our headmaster was Mr Clegg, and our form teacher was Mr Kenyon. Other teachers were Miss Edwards (she of the the frayed cane!!), Miss Lund, Mr Edwards and Miss Taylor.
