David Taylor's Web site David Taylor contacted me recently to advise me that he has updated his website. This certainly deserves your attention. There is a brief history of the school. A great panoramic picture of the pupils in 1953, Pen pictures of some of the masters who taught us there and the views of a number of former pupils. Some of their comments are a little over the top but they certainly invoke memories of times past.
