I lived at 99 Tideswell Road from birth in 1946 until about 1965 when my parents Phyllis and Harold Ricketts moved to Bewdley. I went to school first at Perry Beeches and from 1958 after the 11+ until 1965 at George Dixon Grammar School. I read on other parts of the Forum and was reminded about some of the GD teachers including Mr Rumsby the Head, and his awful Deputy who liked to pull the hair at the side of one’s hair (very painful).

I omitted my name which is Carl Ricketts, and I was in the A classes throughout my time at GD. I am afraid I have a poor memory for names, but do remember Michael Nowakoski as a fellow pupil and friend.
