Yes, FNQ, you're right ... but it's Paul Coudjoe and Kevin Askey. Best wishes, db84124

Bordesley Green Tech. Under-13 team during the 1963/'64 season ... The photograph was sent to me by a former pupil who was at the school, Ron Hemming. Ron's on the photo standing alongside the sports master on the left, Mr E.C.E. Lunn. db84124

Roger Spry has had a glorious career in professional soccer. After having begun in Wolverhampton Wanderers' youth squad in the 1960s, I'm told he suffered a broken leg on two occasions and decided to turn to coaching. The BBC considers Roger as "the most successful English football coach you've...

Hello there, Trevor, While at Bordesley Green Tech., the likeable Mr G.W. Churchward had two nicknames. I seem to recall a slight Scottish lilt in his husky, growling voice; hence he was named "Jock". His second but more common nickname was horrendously cruel, but we all know how schoolboys...

Yes, correct, we were referring to two different photos, hence my request to set things straight. Amazingly, in your photograph there are three lads who went on to play for various age-group teams at Bordesley Green Technical School. As you so rightly state, both Graham Butlin (and, of course...

Which photograph are you referring to, FNQ? Could you add the number of the posting please? (Top right-hand corner of posting, e.g., #334.) Could you put a name to "your guy" please. Thank you, DB

Yes, Trevor, Mr "Jock" Churchward taught TD at Bordesley Green Tech too. He gave me a (very good) grounding in the subject between September 1959 and July 1963, when I gave it up to study Biology.

Oh! So you must have seen/met him on a number of occasions ... lucky you! D.

Hello, Lynn, I'm deeply saddened to learn that you've lost your Mum. You've sent me such a lovely, detailed reply that I'd like your permission it publish it on our FB page. Having such a strong connection with the school, I wonder if you'd be interested in giving it a look. It's called...

Hello there Imr3103, I was at Bordesley Green Tech between September 1959 and July 1966. The attached photo I've taken from the 1964 official school panoramic photograph. Is your Mum one of these two dinner ladies? Can you name the other lady? As I run a Facebook page based on The Tech, would...

There's a tremendous mix-up here! The first two models are based on GWR Castle class locomotives and are similar. Their curved steampipes can be clearly seen. The third model has a straight steampipe, which was so in Hall, Manor, County, Grange and other GWR classes of engine. All three carry...
