Middlesbrough Boys High School
A Memory of Middlesbrough.
I went to MBHS in 1960/64 when it was up at Prissick Base, just moved up from the town adjacent to the Gazette Office and Teesside Poly or Constantine College as it was then. They have knocked down the schools at Prissick, as they did for Marton Road juniors where I attended previously. At least the old clock tower entrance of the original High School still survives.
My teachers at MBHS were Pop Weatherill (English), Johny Greenwood (Maths), Spike Cherry (maybe Physics and Rugby), Harry Lancaster (Chemistry), Gordon Banks (PE), Willie Whatmore (Latin and RI) plus many others.
My schoolmates were Ronnie Dolan, Dave Young, Pete Chapman, Ged Pope, Billie Cummings, Bob Robinson, Mallie Hatton, Colin Brown, Derek Haskins, plus lots of other reprobates ! Happy days with Bertram Ramsey, Brackenhoe, and Girls High School on the same site. Do these names ring any bells ???

The boss, George Morris, was very ambitious for us. Coxed several of my not very large sixth form into Oxbridge, God help us all (actually it was the local council that helped most of all with good tuition and maintenance grants - those were the days!)
No more till I've rubbed the memory lamp a bit more vigorously.
I have rubbed the memory lamp
I remember you coming to MHS in 3rd year
I was absolutely terrified that you would be better than me at athletics and chemistry
fortunately you were not although you were better at other subjects particularly English
as I think that you studied this at Oxford
John Brown was our form teacher for 3 years and I had him for one more iLVI SCIENCE
keep rubbing the memory lamp
