The last intake

I was in the last intake of schoolchildren to pass through Bilborough (September 1972). I have good memories of the school. I remember Mr Littlewood falling for the plasticene ball full of water trick in physics. Also Mr MacNaughton’s iron rule in geography. Along with that the session that Mr Richards ran after hours for the couple of us who were interested in electronics. Names I remember include Mr Yarnell, Mr Downing, Mr Kirton, Mr Goodchild, Mr Mahoney, Mr Jacobs, Mr Owen, Mr Delstanche(?), Mr Nielsen, Mr Hill, Mr Bhambra, Mr Southgate, Ms Elias, Ms England, Ms Newman, Ms Gotheridge, Ms Bowen. Anyone from these times, teacher or pupil, please contact me and let me know how you’re doing.
