Linton Camp
Hi
I was at Linton Camp, 1960 to 64, and recall playing foortball at Netherside Hall, I particularly recall getting bathed after the match, in a proper bath, we thought that a bit odd, as we had communial showers at Linton Camp. I think the match was to do with the Upper Wharfedale Cup, we also plyed a few other schools, and I think we won the cup, but cant be sure. I was centre forward, but frankly was pretty naff.
I have been doing a bit of research concerning Linton Camp, or Special Residential Scholl as it was renamed after Bradford Education bought it from The National Camps Assc. Although it was generally known as 'Camp'. I have a few photos of Linton on my web site at:

None sadly of Netherside.

RE: RE: Linton Camp
I was interested to see your article on Linton Camp. It brought back memories for me. I was at the camp several times during the 1950's. I came from Bradford and migrated to Australia in 1963. Regards Arthur Haigh.

I was at Linton around 1958/59/60 ish I think. I remember the drinking fountain below the assembly hall! Did we have a member of staff called Mrs Airey? I remember earning red dots, litter picking for sweets! Regards, Eileen
