Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Is there anyone on here who went to Hippings Methodist Primary School in Ossy? I was there from 1982-1989.Would be good to share some memories.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Wow that brings back some memories. I spent a good few months there in my youth. Didnt realise it was still open,

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

I went there from 1946 to 1952 - remember me?:rolleyes:

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

I know but its a closely guarded secret :D

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

No, but I know someone who did.

:D

The old school was at the top of Chapel St.

The new one was built right next to some air raid shelters, which were on the field at the top of Alice Street.

Anyone rember those?

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

I remember um G. there were also some on Immanuel Cricket Field, on was used as the groundsmans hut when I played there in the 70s, think they've gone now

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

The old school building was demolished in 1971.
I remember the year precicely because that was the one year when I lived at the bottom end of Lord St (backing the old school site).
When demolition began all sorts of vermin left the building.
I found I had to cope with rats and cockroaches:eek:

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Didn't realise it was that early Margaret can remember going to the Youth Club there every Friday night from about 63 to 66

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

MargaretR I was born in 1981, not 1942.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Tell ya what bet she wishes you were right;)

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

I was born at a time right for me - I have no wish to change that

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Wish I could turn the clock back and make a few tweaks here and there, nothing major, just a little tinkering:rolleyes:

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Well I was born in 1981, that means I joined Hippings in 1985 and finished in 1992. That means Lilly was in YR3 when i joined.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

How about Whittingham? Or was it closed by then?

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Not everyone is able to have a university education.

Some pick up more at the School of Old Shops.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Very impressive Bee . Top marks and grades ?

I saw a car this week with the last part of the registration number being BEE . It was a black car and I don't know the make . For me a car is just a machine on four wheels . It was near Mount Carmel . I was curious and wondered could it belong to our Bee .

She works in the office, and is married to my godfather, and is a good friend of mine.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Yes G:).

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

um:confused:

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Going back to the Heys fields air raid shelters, I remember them too. They stank. it was something of a rite of passage I recall to go through them from one end to the other in the dark. I seem to remember that one end was all but walled up with only a narrow horizontal gap to squeeze through. The corporation salt dumps were great fun to play in too.
I lived at the top of Alice Street and always bemoaned the destruction of the wonderful football pitches to build a bleedin' school. As one of my former bosses used to say
"It's like weeing through somebody's letter box then ringing the bell to ask how far it went"

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

New football pitches are in the process of being made now. The whole of Heys playing field is being fenced off to stop idiots on motorbikes, quads and cars driving on it

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Not forgetting the numpties who ride their horses across the pitches.

Unless they can jump ten foot fences.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Stupid people also train dogs there:mad::enough:.

RIN5 DY
MP Mr RINDY SARKOZY

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

I never knew he was a prince .

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Your mate Sarkozy .

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Not all frogs are Princes JCB, unless you're in the land of far, far away, or happy ever after.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Funny :D .

Clearly Bee hasn't read his own link to Sarkozy . Why he put it there is beyond me , but if he read it he would see that every French Head of State is the Prince of Andorra .

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Behave yurself JCB, that's way over Bee's head, if you really want to confuse him stick a spade and a shovel against the wall and asking to take his pick;)

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

He is NOT my mate:mad::mad::mad:!!!!!!!!!.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Um I think they are thin on the ground;)

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Is Hippings Methodists the same as Hippings Vale Primary school? If so my mum was teaching there in the mid-70's through to part of the 80's -her name was Mrs Chaffer and she taught top class -her friend Mrs Andersen was deputy head....

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

There are name variations for this same school, as shown here -
About Hippings::History

When I attended the old school at the top of Chapel St it was known locally as Mount Pleasant (adds to the confusion doesn't it? :D)

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

To add further to the confusion , I am almost certain that Hippings Vale School was what is now St Andrews School .

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Think your right there JCB

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Spoke to mum earlier and it was a different school, as hers was C of E. Sorry for the confusion - mind you with all these name changes it's not surprising...

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Hippings Vale is now called St Andrews i went there when the name changed when New Lane school joined up with it so JCB and Jaysay ya both right

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

...and prior to being called St. Andrew's, as it is presently, and before it was known as Hippings Vale, it was called St. Andrew's.

Let's hope they're not planning anymore name changes.

Very confusing.

:D

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

it is Garinda but when it was called St Andrews the first time it was on Kay Street think they renamed it when they moved to Springfield Street please feel free to correct me if im wrong

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

No, I think that's right.

They changed the name when they moved to their new building.

Don't know when that was. Presumably in the sixties.

Before my time.

:D

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

I can remember going to dances at St Andrews at the bottom of Kay street on Saturday nights in the late 50s early 60s, the stare attraction was the Rockets skiffle group, Gordon Holmes and Jack Groves were two of the members:D

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

I went to those dances too.
As for The Rockets - I knew them all - Frank Isherwood 'played' the tea chest - you may know him because in recent years he worked some evenings behind the bar at the Stop and Rest.
Jack Groves was my childhood sweetheart.

Re: Hippings Methodist Primary School
 

Forgot about Frank Margaret, he's a good mate of mine, we always had a good drink in the Stop on his night off and on the Stop ride outs. Jack used to pop in Ossy Con on a regular basis on a Friday night, but ain't seen him for lately as I obviously unable to frequent the Con these days
