Blackwell

Greetings Welcome to this collection of pupil-submitted memorabilia from Blackwell County Secondary School, Hatch End, UK. (No submissions since 2024.) A number of past-pupils have contributed their memories of over half-a-century ago - allowing us to wallow in some teenage nostalgia… …but, at least, doesn't one find the bragadocio from the most antagonistic, purile, erratic, mendacious, capricious, misogynistic, egotistical, narcissistic, inimical, bellicose president "the world has ever seen" continuingly entertaining - if somewhat bemusing? Rebuilding the school.	Rows of Smiling Faces A number of high quality, black & white form photos, possibly from mid-’50s photo shoots, have been submitted by Simon Andrews (at Blackwell between 1970 & ’75). Unfortunately, none are captioned. A folder has been created, initially containing a couple of dozen of the images (low-resolution - as that's more convenient for me to store and access). Take a peek and, if you're able to supply any detail - say a subject’s name - or a pertinent date, e-mail me and I'll upload Simon’s full resolution image annotated with your text.
	A link isn't opening (getting "404 error")? If a link doesn't open correctly, maybe, if the URL of the ‘target’ page has changed recently, your browser isn't serving the updated page containing the link. (The precise behavour of your brower’s ‘refresh’ [& ‘Go Back’] button is determined by the visited page.) However, most browsers can be forced to update a page by holding down Ctrl (or Fn or Shift) + F5 keys.
