I have had a look at some photographs and am able to post the following names. Obviously there are many more than I can remember but my list is: Ian Turner, who is social sec of the OB's - he was the school timpanist. John Garside whose parents kept the Ranmoor Inn was a trombonist, Aldgate has been mentioned in an earlier thread, Gamble, Donaldson, Lax, Charboneau, Dawson, Yates, Finney, Armstrong, Tony Hinchcliffe, Roger Balme (good sportsman), Tindall, Herrington -a speedway buff, Woolhouse, Pell, Wilkinson (golfer), Machin, Connors, Russell, Belk, Ling, Keeton, Tunnard, Antliffe, Hitchbourne, Crawshaw, Birch, Chippendale, Henderson, Graham, Beaumont, Shaun Burns, Webster, Gamble, Frank Green, Slack, Gears, Danson, Concannon, Renshaw, Bagshaw, Gallagher, Barraclough, Pearce, two twins Michael & William Hattersley, Marples, Stewart Smith, Marsh, Hall, Oliver, Ronksley, Adams, Jock Keep, Barraclough. Baines, Mayland, Chamberlain, Dearden - a good swimmer plus three stars from the 50's, Roger Taylor, Keith Ellis and Brian Day who was excellent at swimming, becoming a coach until his untimely death a couple of years ago.

I wouldn't want to forget an old colleague called Ivor Carpenter, whose death at 15/16 we learned of at one morning assembly. A very quiet lad who lost his battle with asthma. Do these name spring any memories?

Hi, is the Old Boys Association still on the go? I can't find much of a reference to it!

Hi Jim 

Thank you for your reply. Sorry to hear about Chairboy.

Take care

Does anybody know anything about how the Central Technical school operated for further education? I believe my dad James Henry Moore went to to Central Technical School 1930-1936  part time or evenings to study engineering.  

Thanks John

There may not be many left now from my time at the Tech. I'm 90 now, left the Tech., happy days, in 1949.

My Dad would have been 89 so he must have been there at the same time as you.
