Fond Memories of Bank Hall

Bank Hall was a school back in the 1970s. The head was a Mr Brennan. It would be lovely to chat to any other lads that were at the school at the time. I've seen a few things in the night, ladies in white and a few dogs from the kennels. I could write abook on this school. I visited Bank Hall some time ago, and it broke my heart, it's falling apart, the present owner has done nothing to help it, I am waiting for the sale sign to go on to it. If anybody would like to know more about Bank Hall School please let me know.

Bank Hall

Hi Carl, yeh mixed memories of Bank Hall, Kevin Brennan, the head, Roger Cubby, Peter Lucas, Alan Ticombe, Gerald Phillips, Leicester Symthe etc who were staff, and the pupils Ray Lynch, Phil Carney, Steve Butler etc etc. Great location and all those trips out to Monsall Dale etc, the youth club in chapel and the lovely local ladies Joanne Hayes, Anne Ashton and many more. I remember the Howarths and a lot of very nice locals, male and female, who became good friends. I know at times some of the Bank Hall lads didn't exactly behave at times and thank the locals for putting up with that. I have been back a few times over the years and taken a walk up to the old Celtic earthworks above Bank Hall and around the area. I hope everyone is well and wish you all health happiness and peace. Thankyou... Tim

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... Read more
