Hollins School 1976!
 

Dear Accringtonians,

Here is a photo of Hollins School Staff Room, I left in 1976. Anyone leave that year also, anyone know anything about teachers and other pupils from that period and what has happened to them etc? Any info would be appreciated :egged::egged::egged::egged::egged::egged:

Thanks,

Nigel McHugh.

Thanks for the link Lancsdave lot of names I remember on that thread. Magpie I remember the name Mr Morley but I can't put a face to it. Last teacher I saw in Accy from Hollins was Mr Neville who lived on Burnley Road but he is probably well over 70+ now.

And we all loved Gary Glitter!
 

Teachers I remember from Hollins were...

Mr Cooper Maths, Mr Neville and Miss Shute Englise, Mr Radcliffe - History, Mrs Howarth - Geography, Mr Alsop - Sciene, Mr Ben - R.E. bla bla!

And we all loved Gary Glitter!??? In 72 and 73 at least!

Hi, Nigel.
My name is Rick Martyn, though if you are who I think you are, You may remember me as Martyn Ali. I haven't lived in Accrington for 30 Years, I joined the RN, left in '81 to become a pro entertainer, and now work as a Cruise Director out of Miami. I am looking for some of the people I used to hang out with all those years ago, if you could help. Ray Moor, Andrew Moore, Paul Meredith, Gemma (Curtis). Cheers, Rick

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Hi Rick(Martyn), I am the Nigel you think, you had an Alsatian and lived up Whalley Road. I havn't seen any of those people since school, you mean Guy Curtis? So I don't know what happened to them? I think Ray Moore got married very young? If you find out let me know - cheers. Your change of name didn't have anything to do with Ricki Martin the singer, did it?

I went to Miami a good few years ago now on the way to Jamaica, went on Miami Beach and also saw a manitee in the water off a bus, totally unexpected.

Good luck with your search.

Ray Moore married my sister ( Susan Holmes)around 1980 and have two sons and they are still very happily in love!!! Ahhhhh.....

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

hi martin (ricky)
This is your old mate Ramon Moore, how the heck are you keeping?

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Hi Ramon, all I can say is Congratulations for being married nearly 30 years. Nigel McHugh aka Kestrel X.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Hi Kestrel

I left in 1975 and I am now a governor at the school.
Mr Cross left earlier this year, Graham Bradley and Keith Vizard are still there, Audrey Cooper has retired but is helping out as a mentor. I see Mr Blackburn around Accrington Town Centre now and again.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Hi Pheonix the only name that may mean anything to me is Audrey Cooper, was that the P.E. Teacher? Mr Blackburn name rings a bell - not sure Keith Vizard sounds familiar?

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Mr Blackburn was the English teacher and was based in the Library, Keith Vizzard was a new PE teacher.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

I don't remember them really - but what about Cooper = P.E.?

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Hi I was at hollins in the same yr as Lisa Ramsden Ian Haword. Catherine Warburton Gillian Walsh left school in 1990

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Pat Morley lives in Oswaldtwistle on the same block of friends as a friend of mine.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

I think gardener Craig Bullock was at Hollins and left in 76.

I saw a TV program last night he was on and if it's not this guy he sure as sheep looks like him, but I havn't seen him since 76.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Hi Nigel, Michael Wood here, used to hang about with Craig at Hollins & it does look like him though like you not seen him since 76, take care mate.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

I saw Mr Cross in Aldi last week, we saw each other but didn't speak. I left Hollins in 1979. Mr Cooper was my maths teacher, Terry Neville was English teacher, he also was wicket keeper for Accrington CC.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

hi Michael do you remember Steven Richardson? I remember Craig said he was going to agricultural college after Hollins- so I guess he must have and then become a professional gardener.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Yes, I remember him, had red hair and lived off Manchester road I think. You must remember Carl Riley lived at Huncoat, what happened to him? Will try to think of other people I used to know. :cool:

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Yes that is right, he lived down across from Howarth Park. Carl joined the army - don't know where he is now? ;) What about Nigel Wallwork - remember him?

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Hi Nigel My name is Sean Whitaker. Left Hollins in 76. Moved to London in 78. Knew all the Guys you mentioned. But lost contact with them..

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Craig Bullock is my uncle and is alive and well. He lives in Southern France the majority of the time, but also has a place in Fence.
He's an international Floral Arranger.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
 

Yes I remember your name - I once saw Paul Wright driving a mini cab in London - I'm sure it was him right in the middle of rush hour in among all the traffic


Yes I remember him telling me he was going to agricultural college just before we left school, I don't know if he went but it figures if he did? - it was only about 3 years ago I was watching late night TV - I saw the program Garden Hopping - and surprised to see him in that, at his house round Pendle area, talking about how he designed the garden - amazing.

Re: Hollins School 1976!
