  2. Hi Pait...I remember sledging down mile run but not sure where death run is. We to sledge down the path just over iron bridge colwick on the right that went up thru the woods to Oke dale rd at the top. Now that was very fast and twisty all the way down and you lucky to make all the way. As for bonfire night we all collected rubbish from any ware we could get it tree from the woods, old mattress, furniture nobody wanted, tyres, any other bonfire we could raid and made the biggest bonfire we could. We built our bonfire on the allotments at the end of the gardens were I was born and lived on vale
  3. Does anybody have photos of school classes from colwick C of E junior school 1955-1960 or chandos, classes 1c-2b-3b-4b 1960-1965 as none of mine survived
  4. Hi loppylugs thanks for the welcome. I remember Brazier only had him for a year as he went to the U.A.S. in an exchange scheme. Can’t remember his replacement. Mr Winters was our science master and his favourite form of punishment was a length of rubber tubing across the backside. That really hurt!! Not sure who still alive (not many I should think) but I do know Mr Marsh died along time ago of cancer
  5. I was at chandos from 1960-1965…I was in class 1c,2b,3b,4b, not the brightest of kids but have to say looking back I had some great times. The 1st form master I had was Mr. Whitingham (dick) then Mr. Parker (Pedro) Mr. Jones was next (jonesy) then last of all Mr. Fox (foxy) I hated Mr Marsh the head at that time who was very stern looking. I had him for maths (not my top subject) Mr Turner deputy head, I had him for geography. Mr Pike for wood work, Mr Jennings for metal work. Mr Marshal (mad man) he really was bonkers for art & RI. Ben Gunn for music. Never had pop Stanley for anything C
