The thread's been resting for a while so here's a pub quiz style question to wake everyone up: What is the connection between Ellen St School and a Headmaster named Mr Chipping?

P.S. Happy New Year.
The classic film drama set in a fictious Public School
Goodbye, Mr Chips, centres around the headmaster, held in high regard, Mr Chipping. The film, originally made in 1939, starred Robert Donat and Greer Garson, the 1969 remake starred Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark and the 2002 version Martin Clunes and Victoria Hamilton.
All very interesting, I hear you say,
but what's any of this got to do with the price of fish? - The fictious school in the film in
Brookfields, the original name of Ellen Street School.

P.S. For anyone not familiar with the area: Brookfields is a district of Hockley, and borders Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter.
