More about this scene
Another view of Derby Road, Swanwick, a little further north, opposite Willgoose's newsagents shop, on the left. The billboards outside proclaim “Boom Week” in the 'Daily Mail' and that cricket news is important in the 'News Chronicle'. Local news, however, is provided by the 'Nottingham Post'.

Sparked a Memory for you?

Although a great surprise to get there, I enjoyed the whole experience from Year I to the Upper Sixth. It was a great school with amazing teachers! Such a shame it's now under- performing !!
Hope someone who remembers me sees this and gets in touch! Love to hear from you!! Judith? Norma ? Fred ? Ced? Mick? Lisa?

Getting in to Swanwick Hall Grammar School from Kilburn Junior School was an incredible surprise for me but I did OK all thanks to the amazing teachers there at the time and it set the scene for the rest of my life. It got me into the third best Uni for law ( Nottingham) and gave me a confidence in my own ability which has lasted a lifetime. Thank you in particular to Mick Clarke , Dick Moon and the Head ...see more

Does anyone remember the headmaster in the late 40's, Doctor Payling? What happened to him? He quit before 1950 I believe. Gordon C Head
