Remember Jack Heyes well in his later years.
You could set your watch by him turning up in The Owl Inn at UpHolland, every night!

'Owd Block was still there in the 70s when I went there, looking at that face again still give me the shivers. He retired whilst I was there and Mr Tattum took over as headmaster, he was a pussycat compared to Mr Heyes.

Jimmy is my uncle - never seen this pic before. Does anyone have a class picture of with my dad, Alan Sudworth, on it? He says there is a class pic somewhere of him and is class taken 1951-1954 with Mr Hilton (aka 'Owd Haggy) on it. If you have that picture, or any pictures of my dad with his class, I'd be great to see them.
