Puffin4 Â Â 10 #292 Posted January 5, 2007 I went to Nether Edge Grammar which shows how old I am. We had Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and some other classics I forget. I was a greek. I must have been the palest skinned greek ever born. Â Hi Buck, Â I was at Nether Edge about eight years after you and, when I arrived in 1950, there was a plethora of houses, eight I think, which is a lot for a roll of around 800 pupils. Four were ancient ie. Persians, Medes, Picts and Celts (I think) and four were modern ie. Irish, Scots, Welsh and Colonials. I was a colonial and our colours were brown. Â During my time there a shake up took place when they changed uniform from brown to black and the houses were reduced to four, named after local castles ie. Conisborough, Peveril and two others. I was placed in Peveril and our colours were royal blue. I wonder whether this was in readiness for the move to the new premises (the new Jerusalem as the head was wont to call it).

Heeley tyke   10 #294 Posted April 18, 2007 Just remembered that my secondary school -High Storrs -in the Fifties had four houses named after Early Britons -Saxons,Picts, Jutes and er I think Normans. Anyone else recall their house names?  I was at High Storrs from 1945-1951. As well as the houses mentioned, there were also Franks and Trojans. There was, however, no Pict house.
