Remember Knocker Taylor’s unique punishment method of wrapping his knuckles on your head??
Who doesn’t, I still have the bruises.
is David Laybourne still around Stockton?
Yeah Dave, he is in Fairfield. He is on Facebook if you want to contact him
I don’t do Facebook, any other way of getting in touch?
Anyone remember a boy called Beall from Oxbridge?
Yeah, Jeff Beall. He had twin sisters and lived near the ring road/Oxbridge lane roundabout. He left Richard Hind as l was starting, but l finished up working with him many years later at Power Gas. I think he moved to London in the early 80’s
Back Row: Geoff Wells. Dennis Brewer. David Thompson. John Husband. Ian Scarth.
Would also like to trace David Thompson and Keith Adams if anyone knows of their whereabouts
David lives in Seamer
The tallest lad on the back row looks like John Husband as I remember him. He lived in Fern Park (as did I) and we gave him a lift home at lunch times on occasion. Alan Huitson’s father was landlord of “The Mitre” I think. My Dad worked for Bolsover Manning’s in Stockton and knew Alan’s dad quite well. The photo would be of 5A, I was in 5B at the time. Pete (Fitzgerald)
I believe there were two Alan Huitsons. I am the one next to Steve Smith and my father did not have the Mitre pub. There was also another Huitson, Stewart but not sure which one it is, none of us were related.
Can anybody put names to these boys?
I recognise some of the faces. Some pupils went to do ‘A’ Levels at Stockton Grammar School and I have a Stockton Grammar School photo of a later year. Would like to have contact with anyone who knows any of the faces.

Hope you are well. Rich.
Steve, I have been trying to contact you for some time now. It has been an ambition to locate all of the ‘Class of 1962’ from Stockton Grammar School and that includes later arrivals. I am in touch with Bill Dalton and of course John Husband sadly deceased. How can I contact you? Roger
Hi Roger
Good to hear from you
I am in touch with Keith Adams let me know if you want his details
Hiya Steve
Don’t forget Dennis Brewer, Ian Scarth, Paul Hill, Colin Foley, Desmond Percival, Philip Thraves, Ronnie Chapman and Philip Capitano, who came back to Richard Hind the very morning that photo was taken.
Hope the quiff is still there.
