[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I always remember going to Highfield Road, and we were singing 'sh*t ground; no fans, sh*t ground; no fans' for most of the second half.

Yep, on the Holyhead Road. They used to make tanks in the same area and would often see one going up Holyhead Road on a test drive!
When I left school most of us got a job in the car / motor industry..... Jaguar, Standard, the black cabs, Chrysler (soon to be Talbot) or Massey Ferguson factory right next to the school and now a housing estate i believe.

I used to drink in the holyhead years ago, big boozer that one

Yours and my old school...closed down

This town...is coming like a ghost town...

Good news about the school then.... Is it flattened?

Soon, I believe. Caused major fallout in the area, as you'd expect. However, it was failing for years and something had to give.

I’m in a hotel in the city centre that I think was built in the 80’s and it doesn’t look like it’s been decorated since

Just hope to God the sheets have been changed..
