Thinking about teachers, do you remember Mr Chambers the English teacher? He could write on the balckboard and keep an eye on the class at the same time as he was squint eyed. Remember him pulling someone out from the class who had to put their hands on the cross bar of the blackboard and while he swished hos cane put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a coin, flicked and said Heads or Tail, whoever it was was lucky and sat back down again.

I was there from 1955 until 1959. Maybe my name rings a bell because my infamy lived on...lol

Did you have an elder brother because I think there was a Charlesworth in my class?. If you did, see if he is on either of the photos I posted, #25 and #29.

Just read that Mick Woodward has died, was good friends with him at school, remember him saying he was adopted. What happened ? Would be good to know how he got on in life? I also remember Stephen Colston and Raymond Stevens and his brothers

There is a very good sketch of spungin on here somewhere.?

When I was at Hucknall pit I did a day release & night school mining craft course at Arnold & Carlton tech College: Mr Spungin was a part time lecturer there & he remembered me from Trent Bridge, can't for the life of me remember what subject he taught. At least he didn't cane me at the tech college..
