Hi, have just come across this site, it certainly stirs the memory. I left Colley in '66. The teachers names mentioned in other threads ring a bell. From memory in the long corridor 12 rooms I think, room 1 Mr. Mason (gardening); 2 Mr. Holding (English); 3 Mr. Barnes (French) - now living in France I wish I'd paid more attention; 4 can't remember; 5 Mr. Brightmore (maths); 6 Mr. Burgin (maths); 6A Mr. Ollerenshaw (RE); 7 Mrs Moore (history); 8 Mr Mellor (geography); 9 & 10 can't remember; 11 Mrs Piper (music); 12 typyist training.

Plus:- Lab A - Mr. Gibbs; Lab B - Mr Ollerenshaw; Art (in the three block) Miss Cooper; woodwork - Mr. Crowe; metalwork - Mr. Schofield:

Head - Mr. Birch; deputy - Mr. Shaw; as I recall our pe teachers changed just about every year, first Mr Copley, next two I can't remember finishing with Mr. Seymour - I think.

One of the two pe teachers I can't remember instigated a camping trip to Barmouth, '63 I think (boys only); followed in '64 by a mixed trip to same place. Fellow pupils of the time were Colin Gregory, Chris Holroyd, Chris Holton, Tony Reith, Dave Hutchinson, Hazel Marsden, John Foster, Joy Nichols, Rodney Bailey, Stewart Saxton, Barbara Bell et al. The mist of time cloud the memory banks.
