I can remember Feed My Lambs closing when we went up to the new school.
I did 3 years at this one, an old type of school - one door for boys and the other for girls. The heating was from coke burning boilers and it was good to be able to go out and get the coke. The other thing we lost when it closed was going across the playground to the outside toilets. Lovely in winter.

Nice to look at the old photos of Brackley as I was born here in 1963. I lived at 54 Manor Road for many years. I moved away for a while but it was nice to return. I used to ride motorbikes with a group of friends - Steve & Andy Fell & Mark Thomas to name a few. Id love to contact CHRIS & BARBARA BALL who emergrated to Oz with there new baby ZOE in the late 1970's. If there's anyone out there who remembers me wheelieing my green loud kawasaki up the High Street let me know???. Thank you for a nice web site ST

I came to Hinton a lot in the 1970s as my aunty and uncle, Mrs and Mrs Good, rented Yew Tree House and Brook Farm Cottage. Mr Good was stationed at Upper Heyford and was in the US Airforce. His wife Rita was my mum's sister. We came to stay at both cottages on and off until up to 1974 when they went back to the USA and I had many a happy time playing round the village with my cousin Eve, my sister and various other cousins. I can see that the village has changed somewhat now but I don't know if anyone remembers Seamus the red water spaniel owned by the people who lived opposite Yew Tree House, the Darvil family who farmed just behind the cottage (can't remember the name of their farm), the lady Mary who owned the ex race horse Smokey, Elsie the butcher who used to deliver round the village, and loads of things. It would be interesting if anyone has any memories of Hinton round that time.

Is there an interest in a reunion of all the old boys from the school? I was thinking along the lines of a once only in say mid 2011, if I could have some feedback and see what happens. Contact is tim@cmmassoc.co.nz

Martin, I believe I remember you, and I also remember Phillip Sproughton. I would like to hear from you. What happened to Major Meager, and Miss Brooks? John Pink
