Bank Hall School

Oh, How I remember, I was a friend of Jeff Oats. Tony Condren.
Going to the local youth centre, Saturdays in Buxton. The flipping cheese on toast, pilchards, yuk. I still don't like them.

Many fond memories, I'm on Facebook. A F Condren.

I was at bankhall for about a year and half in the 70s.i remember some staff .mr brennan pete lucas pete denver.lads i remember are derek mathews.ian sullivan. andy renwick .les weir.it would be nice to meet a few of the lads that were there and talk about our time there.Tex

I remember lots of fights, Barrett was an evil bastard, I played football with Derek Mathews, I think I remember Terry England, but not sure, Tony Condren I do remember, we were in the same bedroom one term, a bit of a naughty lad as I remember, but so were we all, not may fond memories for me though, but I remember a lot, I have lots of stories to tell.

Who were the original owners of bank hall

Hi Catherine, it was built for a Henry Renshaw

Hi again Catherine, I understand that the Frith Family may have been the original owners, and Henry Renshaw a Cotton/flax businessman, from Manchester/Salford, purchased Bank Hall and upgraded and built on the land
