Came across this photo - even the small remaining stones have more character than the abomination behind!

Yes, I could not agree more ! Dunsbyowl.

I went to Infants school at Owler Lane 1949-1951 then on to Grimesthorpe until 1955. After that my parents got me transferred to Hucklow Rd so I could go to Hinde House when it was built in 1956 .  It turned out to be a good thing for me as I did well there.

Do you remember Mr Hook?

I well remember Geoff Hook - he was our form master in 4th & 5th year.  He was a great guy & I can't speak too highly of him.  He went on to be Head of Myers Grove school at Stannington. He is in this picture of our 5th year girls.

I had him as a master at FPGS before he went on to Hinde House. He was a character…at the height of the Hungarian crisis he ordered us all “under the desks “…as the Russians were overhead!

I believe he went on to marry a young lady with whom I went to Hucklow Road juniors.
