I remember those names well. Especially Mr. Pike, got that three times in one lesson!

What about Jock Mowatt (Maths) and his well used taped up cricket bat.

Ted Edgar and his cane Tickling Toby.

Other teachers I remember were;

Ben Lyons
Dinky Dollard
Froggy Allan
KP Jones
Taffy Evans

What years were you there?

I went from 70-75 and was in Atkin

As soon as we walked through the door the Fat fryer blew up covering the girl in hot fat, we covered her in wet tea towels and called for the ambulance and of course had a few doughnuts that were already made while we waited for the ambulance to come. Ever since then they have been known as Exploders.


I remember that Donut Shop too.
They were the only place that i knew that sold them,
but being a tight git i did think they were expensive.

But that shop and the smell of Donuts would fill the air
of the indoor fair all the time, you just had to visit the shop.

I was there until 1962 Whetstone Lane in WestminsterHouse blue stripe on tie
When I left school I played football for the Old Instonians in the Old Boys League in Liverpool mainly
Coronation Park home pitches and Club above BSM in Argyle Street
Anybody there when my friend (no names) broke into the basement turned on the bunsen burner gas taps in lab and started a fire
He was caught when the police went round checking shoes against a footprint they found on a piece of cardboard under the window
that he got in

Mr Thompson for French
Mr 'Danny' Webb Headmaster
Mr 'Lenny' Malcolm Physics

You can still get an Old Boys tie now altho not the one I originally allblack with several gold knights heads on

That was a differant set of tunnels that is rumoured to connect to Mother Redcaps.

As a child I went on a tour of part of them, they start in a garden of one of the big houses oeverlooking the front in New Brighton but they had collapsed further into the hill so it's not clear whether they actually reached the cottage.
