Portslade County School

Class 4a - 1953-4
By Keith Granger

My friend Derek Holloway [5th from left front row] recently sent me this photograph from New Zealand where he now lives.

Having seen the other photographs of our school published, I thought I would submit this photo and see if any one remembers me.

I am on the far left middle row. I can put names to most of the guys in the photo but have no idea of their whereabouts, as i have lived in Burgess Hill for the last 45years.

Can you recognise yourself or anyone else? If you can, please leave a message below.

Hi Keith,I remember you from our Drove Crescent days and when we used to walk home together after leaving our girlfriends in Hove. I seem to remember that it was you that told me that Buddy Holly had died. Best wishes.

Hi Keith. I am watching this page with great interest here in New Zealand as I would also like to make contact with my old school pals! Regards.

The 1954/55 football team photo shows a better picture of the Grace twins. 7th from the right is Morely who had an artificial lower arm. He used to run the 440yds races.

Paul, have just had look at the site and seen your comment re Ian Morly he and I were good freinds and I remember him telling me that he lost most of his forearm helping his father in the family butchers shop and whilst pushing the the meat into an electric mincer got his fingers caught and so by the time they turned the thing off he had lost most of his arm. I remember that he would bang his false arm on the desk with someforce to draw attenion to a point he was making, and he had a relatively large supply of mars bars on hand, due to the fact that he had a bigger supply of sweet coupons. The other claim to fame for me was that he also had a complete model set of the German high fleet and after several years of whining and cadjoling he allowed me to see it. I remember he was the best at tech drawing in Mr Broadbanks class and went on to be an architect. I hope this is of interest, regards, Derek.
