Yes Dave about the shoes, if you put your right foot in one, and your left foot in the other, then do the laces up they keep your feet warm in the winter.
I know that cos I was in the bootmakers for a while.

Dave,
The photo of Mr. Randall who was in charge of the Bootmakers Department in the 50's I think was demonstrating stitching technique rather than making shoes. However, as always I could be wrong.

Hi Dave, thanks for the info about the Goldings u14s cup final and look forward to knowing the full details. In the mean time, if you want to throw your toys out of the pram, I will take my own snap!!
On the subject of food. I well remember the dining hall being closed and the Rec being used as the "Goldings Restaurant" It was horendous as there was no heating in the place and you could not warm your hands on the Grogg as that was almost cold. The place was damp, cold, wet and smelt musty. How we ate our meals in there I will never know. Health and safety would have had a field day. But what memories we have and only a goldings boy will know what they mean to us.
Don't know anything about the shoes but I know in one of the photo's is Mr Tordoff who was my tutor and who I owe so much for teaching me my leather work skills for which I gained employment with a local shoe shop in Nottingham then later spent 25 years as a prosthetic technicial, making and repairing Artificial legs at the Nottingham City Hospital.

Yes Pop your memory is second to none.
Goldonian Winter 1956.
I would like to thank Mr Newton for use of the Gymnasium on Mondays for our practice periods; this is much better for it is lighter and warmer than the Recreation hut,which had to be taken into use as a Dining Hall whilst our permanent Dining Hall was being re-roofed.
"I bet those meals were freezing cold by the time they reached the Rec hut from the kitchen?" Even the cockcroaches wore gloves!!
