Schooltime Memories.

The Grammar School 1957
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

In the early 1940s the bay window on the first floor over the front door of Rotherham Grammar School was that of my second form classroom. On a rainy day we were 'attacked' by one of the other second forms as a result of which I was pushed through one of the windows. Fortunately the wartime shatterproof gauze in place prevented me and the window from falling to the ground. Several of us received six of the best for that lunchtime episode!

RE: RE: Schooltime Memories

I also attended the grammar school (I thought I already put up a post, but it seems not...I don't understand computers much) I live in Canada now and recently visited the school with my daughter.  It's now a college and very different from what I remember.  I find it quite amusing that your name is Alan Rogers and that my sons name is Roger Allen. Well I'd love to hear about your time at the school. My email is

Please don't hesitate to contact me. I enjoyed your story, it seems disfunctional lunches were rather common, now that I think about it.
