I attended Tinkers Farm secondry modern in Northfield from 1955, it has unfortunatly been pulled down now but I have very fond memories of school days there, been surrounded by good friends. The headmaster at the time was Mr Butler and we had Mr Froggit, Mr Slim, Mr Sidebottom and Mr Perkins, known as Polly. I think no matter what is said these days about poor education in the past I had a good education which set me up for life and finished school at 15 well prepared to face adulthood.
