Message | POSSIBILITY OF COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE ON OLD SCHOOL BUILDING - NOW 'LEOPOLD SQUARE'. A few of us are keen to have a plaque placed on the Orchard Lane building, giving a potted summary of the history of the building, including reference to City Grammar School. Jeanette Aston (ne Attwood - 1954 - 61) has very kindly been to discuss this with one of the City Council's building surveyors, who seems to think a suitable plaque could be installed, subject to planning permission (listed building) and suitable design. HAS ANYONE ANY IDEAS/COMMENTS on the wording/style of this proposed plaque? Please respond as soon as possible if you have any ideas. Jeanette is hoping to visit the owner of one section of the building who, we believe, will be sympathetic. She will discuss the possibilities with him. Best regards to all!!

Message | Hi everyone, I attended City from 1967-1973. Was in Miss Johnsons form in the first year, I remember skirts had to be 4 inches above the knees when kneeling. Would be great to get in touch with a couple of my good friends from that time, Elizabeth Bennett and Denise Johnson(I have been trying to find them, with no luck:-() I remember a lot of the names I've seen on these pages, I recall doing a lot of drama with some of them. If anyone remembers me, or better still has a photo anywhere with me on it I'd love to hear from you. [email protected] or [email protected] |
