Article Published in the Local Press - July 2005

This article was compiled and edited by Sue Holbrook and John Platt. It was published in the Thorne Courier and the Doncaster Free Press in July 2005 as a part of the closing procedures of the Grammar School. I was looking through some of my old papers, stored in the shed, and found this in remarkably good condition. It is a four page wrap around spread and I have split each page into two parts to assist in the clarity of text and photos. A couple of the pages have been uploaded elsewhere on the site.

Guidance on using Photo Albums

To reduce the problem of finding photographs that may interest you we have grouped the 2600 jpg images into 94 "subject" albums, and grouped the albums so that similar "subjects" are together. Clicking on the group name below will take you to the first album in that group. To move to the next or previous album use the link at the bottom of the album page.

The albums display "thumbnail" copies of all the photos in that album. Click on the thumbnail to see an enlarged version. You can see an even larger version by clicking on Zoom In in the top right corner of the picture frame. The quality of the picture depends on the resolution recorded when the picture was uploaded.

The groups are:

Heads & Teachers (1 album)
Classes & Groups (4 albums in date order)
School Panoramics (9 panoramic photos in 1 album)
The School (3 albums)
Sports Teams & Events, including OT rugby (9 albums)
