BOYS' OWN: The boys of class 2A at Watt Close County Modern School.
THE boys of class 2A at Watt Close County Modern School in 1954 line up for register call in this week's look down Memory Lane, writes Pete Lammas.
In the 20 years that this popular feature has appeared in the Advertiser/Messenger, we have had very few photos of Watt Close, so I was particularly pleased when Pete Nokes, seen on the front row, offered to lend it to me.
I too was a pupil at the school and our paths were to cross again when we left and both became apprentice 'hot metal' compositors at the old Messenger newspaper company at the time when the paper was printed in the town.
Today, Pete runs the successful Bromsgrove Printing Company in Worcester Road.
The pupils are, back row, from the left, Brian Nokes, Roger Strain, George Beardshaw, Angus Malcolm, Mike Hannon, Bron Llewellyn, David Lloyd, Jim Knight, Edward Grazier and Malcolm Cord.
Seated: Ray Tilt, Peter Machin, Pete Nokes, Roger Atrins, Aubrey Stockford and John Cunningham.
