More about this scene

On the right of the picture is the town war memorial; to the left is the striking grey stone facade of the Talbot Hotel, a gabled 17th-century building. Inside is a splendid Jacobean oak staircase; according to some sources, it comes from nearby Fotheringhay Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded in 1587.

I remember attending this school and have a school photograph of all pupils. I know the school is not there anymore, but cannot find any information relating to this school, does anyone know of it?
I remember we lived in Peter Street, where I first learned to ride a bike, my elder sister giving me a push at the top of the hill...stopping was the problem! Our house was on the right side going down the hill. Across the road were open fields where we would fossick for Roman pottery shards with my father. At the top of the street there was a conker tree which entertained my friends and I for hours. Our family moved to Australia and I remembered other families were emigrating too.
