Hi, remember the lovely building of the old Grammar School. Just five years ago this very month since they demolished it. The entrance gates I heard were sold to someone who was taking them over to Ireland. Sad, innit? Doesn't time fly?
It was 1968 when the school, still a boys only Grammar School, was preparing to move to the smart new building in Queens Road West. The good old days, when the cane was still in use! I remember being told once about a laddie called Terry Wilkinson who as he got on the bus one day was greeted with cheers off his pals, he had just received his 100th whack in his five years at the school. Now of course, there is housing on the site.
