Bloomdido   10 #6 Posted May 6, 2005 I lived on Willow Drive and went to Athelstan and Brook. I remember Mssrs Footit and Aizlewood. Went outward bound with them one memorable week in Derbyshire. Mr Footit still teaches at Handsworth Grange. I left school in 78 and moved to London soon after. Am glad to b back up here tho - no comparison! There's lots of people on Friends Reunited.
