It is probably less open now - then; it was literally right outside the school front door and no teacher did nowt about it - several scraps at the same time. Almost like a school sports day event as far as I recall and I didn't take part.
Your "cock of the school" must have been a light weight - the characters at Hollins were professional trouble makers - it wasn't just a school pose they were delinquents - 24-7.
