admin 21 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Simons was the art teacher What happened to him? Wasn't afraid to use the cane, like many at TB. I remember him handing out blank pieces of paper for art work, with th instruction to do a rough sketch on the rear first. One boy turned the blank sheet over before starting his rough sketch. Stupid Boy! :o Can you remember the amazing illustrated county maps he used to draw. Signed "J.B.Simons" I would love to get my hands on one nowadays. Ebay is negative.

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'm bumping this. Does anyone remember those illustrated maps he used to draw. He signed them. Who did he sell them to for publication? They were in the style of John Speeds maps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony 27 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 In 1964 I was in the fifth form undertaking GCE Art ( failed) I remember quite well drawing a large picture of 'Nottinghamshire' and inserting pictures of for eg Wollaton Hall, Trent Bridge to show and illustrate certain areas.Similat to the JS's map drawings. Mr Simons signed in J B Simons- had it for years before destroyed it. I liked Mr Simons- lived at East Leake and had I think a small red care. Happy New year to all Kind regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
