 When in

would take place, usually ended by Lenny Ledger in the geography storming upstairs.

 Ian 'Tank' Wilson at the front, with
Graham Hughes at the back. Graham became a legend on the notorious Chester Bus - as
we got towards Eastham, if anyone spotted a public bus with the direction 'Mill Park' on
it, we would pile onto Graham and give him a slapping. Does anyone know the origins
of this daily practice? I
DO !! |

 The next 5 photographs show the site of the school as it is now (taken
around October 2001). An old listed building demolished for houses - makes you think
??? This photo taken from Townsend Lane. Behind the wall would have been the
cricket nets. |
  Left:-Looking down Wellington Road. This wall is the
original one we used to jump off and leg it back into the playground for a dare. Right:-Even the school's rear wall has been left in place |
 The bottom end of the school, with the original wall and openings left in
place, now providing driveways to houses. |
 During my visit to take these photographs, I became quite emotional at the
destruction of the school, but this sight possible upset me the most. The faded and
partially removed yellow zig-zag markings - the only reminder left that a school
ever existed here. |
