Another slightly familar picture, Chorlton High School for Boys circa 1930


It is a scene that will be familiar to many of us.

It’s the old Chorlton High School on Sandy Lane but with a slight difference.

The picture was taken around 1930 when it was Chorlton High School for Boys.

Picture; from the Lloyd Collection

      Hi
      Johnny L, You must have been in the fourth form when I joined at age 11. I was there from 1960 to 1966. Did you know guys called George Spicer and Kenny Hankinson? Do you know of any other links or history, documents etc. of the school on the internet?

      Cheers
