frankkettell   10 #277 Posted November 8, 2006 At King Ted's in the '50s the School Houses had the names of stately homes, or dukes, I'm not sure which. There were eight of them. I remember Arundel, Chatsworth, Haddon and Wentworth - I'm not sure of the names of the others. I wonder if KES still has them.  I went to Huntsman's Gardens and the lad who was the smartest in our class was called Beverley Crapper. He went to King Edwards in the early '50s and I often wonder what happened to him. Anyone out there with any clues? Frank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

katkin   10 #283 Posted November 10, 2006 I went to Bankwood too (it was called Rollestone before they changed it because it sounded too much like Rowlinson) and I was in Windsor too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

DanielWalton   10 #286 Posted December 12, 2006 In the late eighties at Ecclesfield we have Cowley, Housely, and two other local houses that I can no longer remember the names of. I think we then changed to birds of prey which didnt quite have the same local ring to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
