I looked at this and thought, 'I've seen that somewhere before!' I have a very similar photograph taken in May 2009. Building seems as if it has been locked in time looking at this photo. Wonderful!

Bishop Blackall School 1947-51

Does anyone remember the fascinating history with Miss Vaudrey or the English Lit with Miss Chappell, or scary maths with Miss Parkinson? Or Timothy Whites in the High Street? Happy times.
