More about this scene

Our journey starts in the superb stone-built town of Oundle, nowadays a popular tourist destination and home to Oundle School. Note the 17th-century houses on the left, with their richly gabled mullioned bay windows. The White Lion, dated 1641, is now part of the school. A tall Jacobean-style school building stands to the right, while in the distance is the market place.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

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.
