Which school is this????

[Lottowyn]

Certainly not Acklam Hall. Head Joe Hurst always looked out of the window.

It is Stapylton

My wife went there and just named the lanky lad at the back as Desmond as soon as she saw him - apparently Malcolm is the lad with the closed eyes, no surnames as they might not want them known after that

She said there's a few others - lad in the middle with wonky tie - can't think of name right now but it'll come back to her

They should get them to re-form and sing at the first match with full attendance

The lad at the end is my long lost twin. Spit of me at that age. Spooky

Tommy G, Decca S & Robin C are some of the names I was given, sadly not sure where in the photo.

 

[FlapJacks]

Recorded in the music room at Stap maybe?

 

[UTB70]

They all went on to form the red faction...hence the repetitive lyrics

This is catchy as fvck we have been singing it in Redcar tonight. Might catch on at the ground post mask wearing.

 

[davidmills]

Sounds like too many of Tommy’s rums been had in Redcar to me.

Didn't the same school do "Men of Iron" in 1988?

What happened to the school? was it flattened?

Yes it’s not there any more.

Outwood School on Normanby Rd has taken the place of Gilbrook, Stapylton and Sarah Metcalfe.

 

[Capybara]

When did Eston Grammar School close then?

 

[BoroBosco]

When did Eston Grammar School close then?

It changed to Gilbrook in 1973 when it was merged with Eston County Modern

 

[Erimus74]

Wow, Love it, wish I was in that choir, I'll have been of similar age & look at the awesome school blazer school badge, how good is that

Thanks for posting

 

[FlapJacks]

I'm disappointed I don't recognise anyone. It's my school at the time I was there.

i Remember it being broadcast on tv in 1975, although I thought it was Look North, maybe they covered it as well although I doubt it as Look North was very geordie biased.
