Robbie 2010, you say that the school that is  the Harris Middle School aquirred this name in 1988?
This is not true, I went to the Harris Middle School in 1982 and my two older brothers and my older sister before me. (And my oldest brother is nearly 50). It even had the Name Harris when it was a girls school, as my mother went there.
The date 1988, is more in tune with the closure of One of the Roman Hill Schools.  Smiley



You are right Smiley my son did a year there at Harris Middle in 1980.   It did used to be Harris Girls school

Thanks Meg when we get back home I would like to have a look around there!

I cant remember any boys at Church road school when I was there as a senior girl in 1939, and I cant remember the date when we were all evacuated, but it didnt seem very long to me, after the war was declared early September.

Aussie K.
I read your note with interest. My brother and myself went to Langwith  Junction and were billeted with Mr and Mrs Newey and Peter age 9 at 1, The Crescent.
We attended the nearby school where, one day in september there was a big scare. The local children were hiding behind the school building. frightened because there was a German Soldier standing at the Gate. Being rather more adventurous, my brother and myself went to look and to ourt surprise saw our father in full mimitary uniform complete with revolver at the hip, was waiting for us. The Locals were most impressed as they had never previously laid eyes on a bitish Soldier.
We left l j in November 1940,

That was an interesting story kdtubby, I was there just after you left ,I went to Shirebrook first with an elderly couple, and then later to L J , I think just before Christmas 1940, as I remember all the presents and the tree we had a very nice time.

Sunny, My wife's maiden name was Cox, Joan and she lived at first in compton street with Mr & Mrs west who had a daughter named Pat, then she moved into Devenshire drive with a Mrs emery before she returned home.
Her brothers John & Derick lived with a Mrs bryant in Cavindish street.
But I lived in Pleasley.
Have you been back to have a look around It hasnt altered much.

Thanks Aussie K, I cant recall that name, but my sister was also billeted along there so I will ask her if she recalls the name, she did know more people than I did, I will call her soon, if she does know I will tell you, yes we went up there 2 years ago and as you say not much had changed either at Shirebrook or Langwith Junction just new people in the same houses at Shirebrook, at least we did feel safer there, but it took a while to get used to them at first.
