Search Park Senior High School, I know what you're thinking, I want RJ pics. There is a guy who posts reams and reams of B/W & colour pictures of Swindon from 50's, 60's, 70's of everywhere and i mean everywhere really fascinating stuff. I bet you a pound to a pinch of shit that once your friends request has been accepted you'll find what you want. If not in the archive of posted pictures then asking him directly if he has something. Hope that helps. |

Lee - have you tried any of the local "Swindon in days gone by" sort of books? I sure there was a specific chapter on schools on one of them

Herbert Petit was still there teaching biology in my day to. He was he Green Party (probably Ecology Party back then) candidate for some election during the time he taught me. Was Forrest teaching French in your time there? |
