replied on: 12/24/2005 12:53:05 AM Two points: Lankey - I will be seeing Brian Key in a fortnight - if you drop me a line via Mailbox (just click on my name) with your real name, I'll pass your regards on. If you're going to start running a "most beautiful teacher" contest, then my vote would go to Miss Fletcher, my French teacher at Aldercar from 1970-1972. Wow.....! |

replied on: 1/26/2006 9:32:21 PM Aldercar infants 1959 - 1963 My first teacher was Mrs Stenson, she knew my mother as they had been at school together so if I did anything wrong I got it twice, once at school and then again when I got home. Her classroom was the hall where we had our dinners and there was a pile of chairs and tables at one end where I ran and hid on my first day and had to be coaxed out. Second year was Mrs Anthony, she had taught at the school some time before and came out of retirement she seemed about 200 to us, was very sentimental and could be brought to tears by poems about lambs, she was a vegetarian which was almost unheard of in those days. I believe her son; Les Anthony was something senior in the Police. Last teacher was Mrs Brown I don’t remember much about her apart from the fact that her husband owned Brown’s the estate agents in Heanor which seemed to impress my mother for some reason. The headmistress was Miss Clarke, I well remember being sent to see her a few times when I’d been naughty. As I remember her classroom opened off Mrs Browns and if we were a bit rowdy she would open the door and glare at us round it which was enough to reduce us to instant silence. Another memory has just come to mind, “Mrs Stenson’s Magic Pot”, this was a tub of Vaseline that was rubbed on any playground cuts and bruises, it worked wonders! |

replied on: 1/27/2006 10:59:15 AM Miss Clarke was headmistress when I was there-years before you were-Mrs Stenson would have started teaching there not too long before 1959-her daughter Jacqueline was a pupil at Aldercar Infants when I was there. Mrs Anthony was in retirement when I attended that school-she lived on Argyle St and we used to visit her-she had so many books! She must have come out of retirement after I left the school-wonder how old she was -Your guess of 200 may be right!!!!!! |

replied on: 2/23/2006 8:11:58 PM I'm not certain,but I think Mr Gent and Mr Kirkham moved to the old Langley Mill Girls school, when the Boys school closed. The Girls school then became Langley Mill Junior mixed-about 1958?? |

replied on: 3/5/2006 3:39:31 PM Mr Gent certainly moved to the junior mixed and staying until his death somewhere around 1964. I thing your date of 1958 will be about right - maybe a year latr, otherwise. |

replied on: 6/11/2006 8:34:48 PM Here's a tester for you.... What were the names of the houses at Langley Mill Boys' School? (I do know the answer, so after I've let you struggle for a bit, I'll post the answer!) |
