Wade Deacon Grammar School In The Early 1950's

A Memory of Ditton.

Coming from Huyton I attained a scholarship and attended wade deacon. It was a fantastic school and Alan Bleasedale the Liverpool play wright also attended. The headmaster was W.Bonney who always reminded me of Alistair Sim. He was a very clever polite gentleman and very popular with the students.
My mother insisted I went to wade Deacon even though it was quite a way from Huyton. She thought the school very prestigious. I went on to become a petroleum engineer and spent a lot of my working life in the middle east. But I have never forgotten the grounding this school gave me.
