The old Ashton Grammar School/Byrchall High School, opened in 1965, and new pupils were given a pamphlet with a very detailed two floor plan of the school, obviously taken from the building plans of the place, Deanery were I went to just had a crappy one page photocopy, hand drawn, and it was wrong

Yet another building which was built in the mid sixties now being demolished

Peter.

I wish that I still had my Lincolnshire home. Walls built of limestone, and about a meter thick. Interior window sills deep enough to use as seats. Over 300 years old. They don't make them like that anymore!

I once lived in a stone built house, with walls about 80cm thick, but the window sills were not that deep, but a relative had a stone built, but white rendered cottage, the likes of what you would have found in an Enid Blyton book, it was at a windswept seaside location, on a cliff top overlooking a natural bay, with a very small harbour, now that had window sills you could sit in, the only thing missing from the books were caves, and I spent a lot of time round the 'point' looking for caves, but no caves and no smugglers, we spent Christmases and other holidays there, and that was in the late 1960s and early 70s.
