Thanks for posting this pic, Ian, it brought back a lot of memories. wink

It was known as Grange Secondary Modern School for Boys or "Tolley" (short for Tollemache Road) when I went there. I left in 1969, at the ripe old age of 15.

The old boys had a "Last Post" sounded at the ex B I playing field at Ingleborough Rd. today, to Honour the memory of the ex pupils that fell in the First World War. The last visit before the new houses are built on the site, Belway Homes were vey good to us, they opened up the Pavilion/Changing rooms and supplied Coffee/Tea and pastries, which was appreciated, I hadn't been in there since 1959, ah well, another landmark and memory gone.
( For the benefit of those who don't know the history, the Playing Field was a registered War Memorial site with covenants forbidding its change of use, but as we all know "Money Talks")

Gutted-didn't know about it. Would have loved to have attended. Many a shower in there after the match.
Fond memories of the "tea ladies" (pupils mothers)who could make a pint of milk make enough tea for 2 rugby teams ref and linesman. Forgotten the old groundsmans name--was it Jack?

Sad to see another open space lost to the housebuilder. Just hope they honour the agreement for the memorial at Hamilton Square.
