underdog Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The 1965 edition of "The Prescotian", the Grammar School magazine A few points of interest, well before my time (I didn't start there till 1972) there but my brother was there at the time (5th form I think). Some familiar names turn up, Stoddart, Baxter, Eddie Kirk, Willy Gornall, Des Roberts are all mentioned & Roy Taylor had just started there. Among the commendations for 5th form theses is one for "Prescot Parish Church - Past & Present" by a young scallywag called G. Nulty, Now where have I heard that name before? Anyway, here's the link. (cbr file, either get a comic book reader app or rename the extension to .rar & extract the images) https://www36.zippyshare.com/v/irtmT9OH/file.html This link will be deleted after 30 days of inactivity.

I used them because they're fast. Mind you, I have a couple of ad-blocking & script-blocking add ons running & always use a good download manager (JDownloader2).

GeoffB Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I remember those names too - I was there 1961-68 You can access the website at http://www.prescotian.org.uk/ Apparently Des Roberts died earlier this month   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvy20 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 We must have overlapped Geoff - I was there 57 -64. Remember the day Des started - sorry to hear that news - can't be many staff left now from that era . Sparky I think is still going, lives in Old Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I should have mentioned I was there from 72-78 (I did a year of 6th form before being, ahem!, "advised to leave") - Lambda in case anyone's interested. I was supposed to be in Kappa but there must have been a last minute intake which required a re-shuffle. Form tutors were Mike Gibby (Biology) at first, I think he'd just started there, & Marsden (Geography) - can't remember his first name - with Sparky Watts for the 6th form.
