My husband Dave Piggott or piggy as he is usually known went to cotto in 1959 to 1963 would love to hear from old school mates anyone got any class phopots of these years would love to see them. I know Paul Farrell and Pat Clark were two of is old mates. PIGGY played rugby for the school team and had a trial with Nottingham rugby club. Any one remember him.

Went past Cottesmore the other day, they have started to demolish it.

I think the site is going to be used for housing.

As taxi ray says, Cottesmore is no more.

Lots of memories of this place. I was there from 1956 to 1960.

Mr. Happer was the headmaster, Percy Fox was the woodwork teacher, Stan Ashmore was Science, Mr. Fletcher was Tech.Drawing and Mr. Barnes was Maths.

Some of my classmates were: Michael Pemberton, Michael Onion, Alan Dean,Roger Woodward,and Ian Johnson. Apologies to all the others whose names I have forgotten.
