The Grammar School moved from Blackburn Road up to Queens Road in 1968 and yes, Garinda, it did go comp in 1975. Incidentally, I noticed recently that the "monstrosity" is now derelict and boarded-up. That certainly lasted, didn't it?

It became redundant as a school when the Cromwell Building was extended. Those 'improvements' (I use the term loosely) were completed 3 years ago when Mimi first started there. They got extra holiday that summer because the school opened late as work was still in progress. It was still in progress when they actually opened and parts of the school were off limits for a while.

Re: The Best Years Of Your Life
The old grammar schools gave a lot of kids a chance for a future that they wouldn't otherwise have had. Now we've taken it away from them in the name of progress. Funny how "progress" so often seems to mean "going backwards", innit?
