I didn't go to Rhyddings but I am in that age group.
There is only one face I recognise and I don't recall his name - the chap with the 'kiss curl' on the row next to the back.
He was a teddy boy and a west Ender I think.

I was friendly with Derek Thompson around that time. We all thought he was quite.....cool. :D

Re: Rhyddings School 1956
 

He was a good bopper.

He was a nice lad, drove a milk float for the Co-op Dairy for a while in the early 60s. We used to meet at silly o clock in the morning when I was running for the bus. I always gasped Hello at him. :D

Sadly Derek im told has passed away i didnt know him but the wife and also preacherman (Jeffrey Ellis) both said what a nice guy he was:)

Re: Rhyddings School 1956
 

I'm nearly sure Derek became a warden of HBC when he finished on the ambulances he was on our Estate, sadly he died a few years go if its the same person, he was a real first class guy and a good friend to the residents
