The End as a School

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.

Motorbike days

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

Memory of School

Mr Thurston, music master. Mr Meager, Major Meager's father, also music teacher, remember him as a very old man, another master, Mr Pepper, I believe at the end of term whilst going home had a car accident, collided into a bus in thick fog. Do you remember Wells pupil, also John Luston. Jeffrey Watts, Pen A Pen B. Morris I can remember at Chicherly Hall, when they were making good on a new tuck shop, just before opening we were all queuing for food when somebody threw a boot over the top, hitting Mr Smith the English teacher, he came out and blamed Morris for it who had nothing to do with it. Hope to hear from you,
John Pink
