Susan Barnsley
I went to Uttoxeter Girls High School when I was 11 in 1963. My friends, Ros Glass and Gillian Pollard, travelled on a double decker bus from Hoar Cross each day, we all started together. I was in Dunkley (blue) House, Roz was in yellow ( cant recall name). My other good friend, Lorna Childs got on at Abbots Bromley. I remember Miss Sutherland (french) Miss Thraves PE, Mr Fisher and Mrs Hudson. Mr Wooster took over as Headmaster when I was there and after three years we amalgamated with the boys school next door, Alleynes Grammar School. I remember Helen Slater, Linda Peetee, Susan Pickford, Vivienne Crocker, Susan Phillips, Janet Parker, Christine Bateman, Elizabeth Damjanovich and Anne Bond. I remember we visited the Wedgewood pottery on a school trip. Learning went out of the window when boys joined as we were all at that teenage age!!! Good memories.
Uttoxeter, Stone Road
Has anyone got a photograph of Stone Road before the flats were built in the 1970s? My grandmother Mrs Elizabeth Foster lived at 21 Stone Road from about 1910 until they were demolished in the late 1970s and she watched them being demolished from a flat across the road. She was a widow from 1918 when her husband Thomas died as a result of the First Wordl War. I remember Highland cattle at the top of the road (where the swimming pool is now), and the stonemasons and Morin's on the corner (ice cream!).
I remember Mr and Mrs Challinor who lived next door. Lovely terraced houses, no bathrooms, outside toilet, 2 rooms downstairs and 3 bedrooms upstairs. At one time Gran had 4 step-children and 5 children in that house.
Pitts Place Garage
The gap between Woolworth's and the next building was known as Pitts Place where Bert Mellor (my grandfather) ran a garage workshop where he maintained the vans for Devilles, the butchers, and the Uttoxeter racecource ambulance, which was an old WWII canvas sided vehicle.
A Sharp Reminder of my Schooldays.
Saturday, 20 February 2010 A sharp reminder of my schooldays. I attended Bradley Street, Church of England Primary and Junior school, Uttoxeter. Some teachers, remain in your memory, others disappear. I remember in particular Miss Kingshott, a tall, a dark,angular lady. Her teaching was always forceful, her discipline strong. I remember her telling us of a visit to Oberamagau and the Passion play. I do not think I thought of her again. After the Royal Marines, I became a police constable in the Staffordshire Constabulary, later to be the Staffordshire County Police, I was stationed in Willenhall Division at Tettenhall Station. Bill Ford from Uttoxeter was on my shift. In 1951 I became the second man at Compton sub-section, which comprised the villages and hamlets of Tettenhall Wood, Compton, Finchfield, Trescott and Wightwick. Very little supervision, only means of communication was a Police Pillar at Tettenhall Wood Cross Roads. In 1952, about April time, we changed from flat caps to helmets, and on my helmet's first outing I was in School... Read more
