jazzy_daveI was looking aaround the internet to find out what has happened to places in my formative school years in Rugby up to the early seventies and i found this via Wikipedia of ll places -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilton_School
I was educated there between 1967 and 1972 when it was known as Herbert Kay High School (which got nicknamed as "Sherbert Dab") . The girls school next door (which came later) was a bit of a novelty, as we had been,for the most patr,pupils of a boy's school.It remained so for many years until the girl school was built late.1969 (if i remmebr right). The girl's school had originally been somewhere else in Rugby but the local council in their infinite wisdom decided to move it and build a new one right next to us. Now it is a co-ed , (and a comprehensive school, not the original grammar school when I attended) it will not be the same!
