It's funny reading that. When I started high school back in '84, I desperately wanted to go to Park High (where my mates went, plus it was a bit nearer for me).

In the event I could only get in to Rocky Ferry (or the BI). Most kids I knew only got into Park High if they had a sibling already there or a medical reason, it was a highly sought after school back then. As it happens, I went to Rock Ferry from 1984-1989. No regrets of course, but if that was now, then I would have ended up effectively back in the successor to Park High anyway. For some reason that amuses me slightly. laugh

As for this thread, I attended the Sixth Form College from 1989-1991 and my teacher from Rock Ferry moved to the college with me and was still my teacher in the college! (A few of the Rock Ferry teachers moved to the college in 1989).

Also was going to mention when I walked past the Shrewsbury Road side of the Sixth Form college earlier this year, I noticed they've got a new building on the site, which wasn't there back in my day.

That's the Paxton Building and has been there since about 1997/8.

Thanks for the reply mb2496. Didn't know it'd been there that long! I've been through Claughton village quite a few times since then, but for some reason, I only noticed that building when I actually walked along that stretch of Shrewsbury Road.

Also, I noticed there was some sort of building/renovation work going on around there the day I walked past, perhaps this is why I thought the building was new. I guess it must have been something else going on. laugh
