jackson 301 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Forster Street School - later called the 'Sydney Pearson Hill' school was just around the corner from Denman Street - a once wonderful shopping street. On the second photograph from 'Picture the Past' @ #3 (courtesy of Cliff Ton), a long line of terraced houses followed the school, either side of the road and led down to Ilkeston Road. Sydney Pearson Hill was a Radford boy who'd worked hard and done well in his life: eventually finishing up Lord Mayor of the City. I was at school and in the same year as his grand-daughter; I remember well the tall, strong figure - and presence - of Sydney when visiting one of our school speech days. Our intensely strict Headmistress, Miss Gutteridge was in awe of this Radford lad made good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bing 78 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 1953 At Forster Street School. The teacher, I believe, was Mrs. Holmes. I am the innocent looking chap third from left on the middle row. I had hair back then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hotpointdave 7 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I was at that school and left for Glen Bott in 1975...... Teachers I remember are........ Mr Carter( mad about playing a clarinet) Miss Newton, Miss Gear, Mr Sayers(head teacher) Mrs Brown(the secretary) And what I remember there was a old picture hung up in the main lobby of My Sydney Pearson himself... Anyone remember? The kids at that school I remember are...... Roy Francis, Mark Pearson, Nancy brown, Peter Diamond, Debbie Husbands, Sandra croft.. Sandra who I still know quite well, Also on our school dinner time and breaks I remember there was a dear old man who wore glasses and a flap cap who used to come and give kids sweets and biscuits, One of the main sweets he gave was those little biscuits with the little twirl of icing on top of the biscuit. I think us kids called him Mr Clements. Can anyone remember him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 As I mentioned on another topic, S P Hill was my grandfather. I came to know Miss or Mrs Clifton even though I never went to that school. Was there also a Miss Grudgeons. I seem to remember meeting her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Jackson. . Sidney Hill only had one grand-daughter - my cousin Rika Hill and I am sure she wouldn't have gone to that school as she lived at the top end of Bilborough. My cousin on my mum's side (Sidney Hill was my dad's father) however was a pupil there. He name at the time was Elaine Stevenson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are related then as Rika is my aunt and her twin brother is my dad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Slight ambiguity there. I'm reading it that Bilbraborn is related to Rika Hill, therefore Ben Hill de Vries is related to Bilbraborn. I don't think Jackson is related to anyone in that little triangle.

katyjay 5,090 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Jackson went to Manning, maybe she means this school where Rika was in her year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Welcome Ben. I have just read your post. Your dad, Wilfred Junior certainly was my cousin. Like a lot of families, we were close when we were young, but just drift apart as we get older. We used to have family parties at my Granma's house in Wollaton. I can remember one of our Sunday morning get-to-gethers at Granma's house. Your dad and I got kinda bored so we had a wander around the local allotments. When they found us we were having a paddle in the stream which came from under the (long gone) canal. I lived in Glasgow at the same time as your dad. My son was born there. Were you also born in Glasgow? Is my auntie Annie (nee Defries) still alive? And did you know that your great grand father was once the Sheriff of Nottingham? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimHewitt 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Does anyone on here remember Mrs Elsie Hewitt, a part-time teacher at the school, I think in the 60's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Welcome, JimHewitt. Hope you find what you're seeking on Nottstalgia. I'm sure someone remembers the person you've mentioned. It's amazing the information available on this site! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimHewitt 0 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sorry, I was wrong on Mrs Hewitt's time at the school, she was there until around 1978/79, with a special class to help children struggling with reading. There must be some who remember her and benefited from her very special teaching. Mrs Hewitt was my aunt and she passed away this month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
