I anyone knows any Pierrepont old girls, would you let them know that there is to be a reunion for all old girls Thurs 11th July 2013. Details can be found at http://pierrepont.moonfruit.com/

Nottingham Post (Bygones) will be featuring Pierrepont School for Girls (Gordon Rd) and announcing a reunion of old girls to take place in Nottingham 11th July 2013

I am hoping to reunite with old girls from Pierrepont Secondary Modern School for Girls. The school on Gordon Rd was founded in 1933 and ran as an all girls school till 1968. A Reunion is being planned for the 80th anniversary of the founding of the school this year. All enquiries can be directed to me.

Anyone remember Bramley Pork Butchers on St Anns Well Rd? Best Pork Pies ever.

Hi... I used to love Colwick cheese on a sandwich with cress,,,yummy. What shop did you have on St Anns WEll Rd? I used to live not far from Donkey Hill on St Anns Well Rd

When surprised by some new information: "well I'll gututhfut of our stairs" (go the the foot of our stairs)

That's a name from the past = Cyril Stapleton. I recall my mum saying that she went to school with him - and how he had become famous through his music.

I seem to remember the name Leatherland but not in the context you spoke off. Any chance there were members of the Leatherland family in the Ransom Rd, Coppice Rd, St Anns Well Rd area back in the 1950's?

Thank you for the welcome.... Happy New Year to you also.

It could well be the same Mr Clarke. He was a nice teacher. I recall him making up stories for us about a talking white dog, and teaching music - percussion. I lived on St Anns Well Rd opposite Westminster Street - not far from the school which was on the corner of Duncombe St and St Anns I am now living in the hills outside of Perth Western Australia Photo of school and map of area attached.

Hi - I lived in Stapleford 1964 - 1965 - on Toton Lane - I noticed many changes on my last trip back to UK. Also developing an interest in Nottingham history generally since beginning to climb the family tree.

Wondering if anyone out there also went to St Ann's Board School., I was there 1949 - 1954 or thereabouts. Mr Salt was the headmaster, and Miss Brown one of the senior teachers. Also Mr Clarke. I believe the design of the building was based on that of a boat, and was built around 1900. It disappeared in the clearances in the 1970's

Enjoying the holiday break between Christmas and New Year, very much enjoyed browsing the Christmas' past forum. Many memories evoked.! Just here to introduce myself.

I used to live on St Anns Well Road near Bramleys the pork butcher, and pork pie was always for tea on a Friday night. At Christmas time there was always a large one ordered specially. Now living in Australia I made a point of making pork pies for several years running - and they were always popular especially with english friends here. Had a go at doing just one this Christmas and it has almost gone.
