SCHOOL DAZE: Pupils from Watt Close Secondary Modern School, Bromsgrove, in the late 1940s.
I MENTIONED here some time ago that we've never had many photos of Watt Close Secondary Modern School, Bromsgrove, to feature in Memory Lane, writes Pete Lammas. This prompted several readers to delve through their photo albums and I'm happy to report one or two have sent in their pictures to us. This one comes from a reader who wishes to remain anonymous and dates from the late 1940s.
