Hi Jenny

The image from this admission register is on FMP and the note is difficult to decipher. I would transcribe it more as "prize boy" there is definitely a "z" in the word not "g"

Hi Angela

thank you for your reply. I didn't realise these images were on FMP. Will take a look.

Jenny

Morning Jenny,

I see that Angela has already answered your question which is good as I no longer have the originals.

It was 2007/08 that we transcribed the schools.

One piece of information that strikes me as odd is the following:

"Previously attended Bow St Bd."

It doesn't ring any bells as being in Sheffield. Does the Bd stand for Bedford?? Bradford?? etc.

Hi Elaine

I found the image on FMP as Angela suggested. I was also wondering what Bow St Bd meant and I "think" it relates to the school which was the Central school on Leopold Street

"The school was extended between 1894 and 1899 with a building on Bow Street (no longer a road) to form an infants school with a roof-top playground".

Bd is an abbreviation of Board.

Hi Jenny,

I used to walk on Leopold St every day for 6 yrs as I worked close to there in the early sixties. The only school I remember was the Sheffield Technical School or something like that.

Glad to see you have it all sorted out.

Elaine.
