Beanfield Secondary

I was in that class at Beanfield Secondary and remember, Jim Drummond, Ray Shillitoe,Pete Bird and also Mick Hambly, Clive Evans, Ann Francis, Irene Mitchell, Jim Gardener, John Gamble, Michael Parker and others. I lived on the estate for several years and used to drink in the Phoenix when Joe was the landlord, When I left school in 1966 I went into an apprenticeship in Stewart & Lloyds until 1970 and left Corby soon after. I remember the mods and scooters in the market square,the rockers in the Crows Nest, going to the "Civic" on a Saturday night, meeting in the Strathclyde bar first, going to the Open Hearth, and the Pit at the Raven. I remember the late night horror films at the Odeon on a Friday night and funny enough I remember Jim Drummond working for Knight's taxis on the rank outside the police station and getting a free, off the meter, ride home late on a weekend night.
