DaveJ 3 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well I'm on it now! (Dave Jackson) We lived on Sandhurst Rd Bulwell - opposite the cricket pavilion with Hemmington's farm behind the "house" - it was a prefab. When I was 13 we moved to Arnside Rd since me and my brother were at High Pavement GS and it was just on the door-step. I remember eating in the Padstow Palace dinner hall when HP's school kitchen was temporarily closed for some reason. My brother and my two sisters all attended Henry Whipple Junior school. I was at HP from 1955 - the year it was opened - until 1962. I now live in Kraków in southern Poland. I left the UK in 2005 and have lived in Spain and Germany before settling in Poland. The biggest shock for me was in 2007 when I revisited the area and found that new development where my school had stood. All of the roads were named after HP teachers I knew well - it was very moving. I remember only two people who attended Padstow Palace - Mick Dicks and Phyllis Clark (spelling uncertain) TTFN Dave J 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snapey 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 When I was at HP the girls from Padstow used to hang around the gates waiting for us coming out. Your old huts we used for changing rooms One doubled as the tuck shop with the most fantastic bags 4d each as I recall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Dave, re #7, if you started at High Pavement in 1955, you must have been in the same year as my cousin - Tony Daniels. He also lived on Arnside Road (No.54) with his mum and dad (my aunt and uncle) but they moved to Cleethorpes in 1956. Any possibility that you might remember him?
