Bank Hall School
Bank Hall School 1977 to its close in 1980, I remember the head, Mr Brennan, and his wife living in the house just next to the the main house, also Peter Lucas, Pete Denver, Mr Lowery. There were a few women there at the time, I remember a girl house-mother called Pippa, her mother worked there too. As I remember, the beds were all woodchip and painted red and blue. I remember Mr Barrett, a teacher not to mess with, and rock climbing at the back of the school on the hill. There were quite a few people I have forgotten but the main were my friends, I speak to Phil Ashton, although he has changed his name now to Jones, now and again. I heard from one of the local chaple girls, Tracy Cooper, that Andy Renwick married a local girl but died in the early 1990s. As for my school days, I have some good memories and some not so good, but that was Bank Hall. Does anyone remember the blue mini bus that used to take us to the sports centre in Buxton?

RE: RE: Bank Hall School
To all you ex inmates of Bank Hall, this is Carl Bolan, the first inmate to enter the door when Bank Hall opened along with Dereck Mathews and if anyone tells you they arrived first, they're wrong!. Anyway, I am hoping to arrange at some point a reunion. If any of the lads that have already been in touch with me and if there are any more out there, it would be nice to arrange our first get together, if any of you are interested please contact me with any ideas as to where to hold it or to organise our first get together. So far there is five of you that have been in touch and hopefully more to come, I will try also to contact ex members of Staff to attend the above. And yes Tommy, I do remember the Blue Bus. For those of you out there that don't have my number once again it is 07532187181. P.s send me a friend's request on Facebook Tommy. Speak soon.
