Alderman Dawes did the Speech Day opening address for 9/11/1967 and 27/10/1966. I may have shaken his hand, as I collected form prizes in both those years. I still have the programmes for the evenings, extracts attached
Took me a while to realise this was formerly Marsh Hill Girls. It was all grassed around this part of the school in the 1960s and was used for athletics having long jump and high jump pits. No car parking this far up in those days (as it has today). Remember several sunny days sitting on the grass at lunchtime out there.
It's possible some of the trees (out of the 150 !) these students and teacher planted are still there, although can't be 100% sure. I've marked the probable location with blue dot's on Streetviews below.
No, I don't remember that happening when I was at the school.
Interesting article about the trees, like you I only remember it as a large grassed area.
