Forest School
The building in the background is the Forest Grammar School which would have been newly built at this time - I think it opened in 1957. The headmaster at the time was "Wally" Jackson, who I had the pleasure of meeting rather too often as he wielded his cane for my latest infraction of the rules!

This photograph was taken from Nells Point above Jackson's Bay.
At the left was Jackson's the butcher's, now an electrical shop.
The raised area to the left of the church houses the Jackson vault, the resting place of the forebears of the late Adrian Ward Jackson, well known through his friendship with the late Diana, Princess
E A Jackson, 'Skegness and Neighbourhood : A Handbook for Visitors' (1883).
Although appearing to be medieval, it was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson in 1815.
Born in 1863 near Bridge Farm (1783) was the noted artist John Jackson.
Caddell's Printing Office at number 1, King Street, just visible on the extreme left and next door to the Jackson Brothers' drapery store, was founded by John Samuel Caddell, a stationer, bookbinder,
Behind Jackson's the ironmonger's (left) was once Bernard's the baker's, now a private house.
In the mid 19th century 80 pupils attended; Mr Alexander Jackson, a strict disciplinarian, held sway.
On the right is Pipers Penny Bazaar, flanked on the left by Redmayn & Sons, the tailors, and on the right by Jackson's, boots and shoes, who were also hatters.
The opening by Lady and Sir Percy Jackson took place on Saturday afternoon 7th October 1933.
Note the goods piled outside on the pavement outside Jackson's hardware store on the right, and the horse and cart further down the street.
His sister, Mrs Paulina Jackson, was the last member of the family to live here, and a monument to her can be seen in St Mary's church.
To the left is Jackson's splendid Jacobethan Examination Schools, completed only eight years before this view was taken.
Known as the Victoria Tower and built between 1894 and 1897 by Sir Thomas Jackson (who was born in Stamford).
By 1851 there were three docks at West Hartlepool, and the Jackson Dock was under construction.
Caddell's Printing Office at number 1, King Street, just visible on the extreme left and next door to the Jackson Brothers' drapery store, was founded by John Samuel Caddell, a stationer, bookbinder,
Concrete post and wire fences and rough grass verges do little to help the scene, but G and E Jackson & Son Ltd's shop front, so typical of the 1950s, just adds the dire finishing touch

After all, the architect Sir T G Jackson had contributed greatly to the colleges of late Victorian Oxford.
Built in 1890 by Sir Thomas Jackson in limestone following the 17th-century collegiate style and blending in well with surrounding buildings.
Under the Griffin Hotel signboard, and in the midst of the dominating chain stores and offices, Jackson's barber's shop still shows a traditional striped pole.
Gatward's is still there, but John Jackson's business has gone: replaced by the Midland Bank.
To the right, the shop with the Hovis sign is still a baker's; Jacksons has been rebuilt but remains an ironmonger's; and further on, the White Hart has become shops.
