Springwell Village School 1944 1954
A Memory of Springwell.
I was born at 3 Underhill Terrace in Springwell on 18th February 1939 and attended the village school from 5 to 15 years of age.
I remember walking from Underhill Terrace daily to the school via what we called the "Horse Holes".
my First teacher in the infants was a Mrs. Clough.Later teachers were Mrs. "Pip" Jenkins (a Tartar) and the gorgeous Miss Glendenning. Mr. Fawcett and Mr. Potts were the only two male teachers I can name but I'm fairly sure there was a 3rd. Mr. Garside was the Head.
We didn't have trips away in those days, all we ever got was a walk around the school playing field.
I can remember sports days. I was in the Yellow Athenians? House. I was also in the school football and cricket teams.
I left school on the Friday in 1954 and started work with British Railways on the following Monday.
Names I remember from my schoolmates were. Ian Price, Arthur Richards, Walter Tully, Lawerence Outerside, Pat Bamford.
