There's life in the old dog yet!

Bursar St was going to be closed down for good years ago. Now it'll have something it never had in my day - it's own playing fields.

Played for St Peters against Bursar Street back in the day, scored the equaliser from right-half.
Went on to Clee Grammar, wore the black and white stripes against Wintringham (always found it odd that 'Grimsby Grammar' played in blue and red) and played with some good players, Bob Leafe, Melly Over etc

A very good use of a listed building. Hope the kids have as great a time there as I did.

Was Mel Over any relation to a Miss/Mrs Over who was a teacher at Bursar Street in the early 70s?

Mel left Clee in the summer of 73 when it went comprehensive.

St Peters and Clee for me too and St Peters over Bursar every time. Boncey was OK but Miss Drewery scared the shite out of me.

Delighted Clee is to be saved and used again. I went to a 'last look at the old school' thingy a few years ago and we sang the school song and 'Gaudeamus' in the hall.The place was in a terrible state with the quadrangle waist high in weeds, an old container and what looked like a chicken run from when the comprehensive lot were there.

The classrooms on the top corridor suddenly seemed very small and memories of Pud Parr, Harry Bert Marshall and Ben Leake came flooding back. Found where I'd carved my name on a bench in Jake Rawson's woodwork room. Just a shame the 'new block' pool, dining hall and presumably gym have been demolished. At the time of the reunion there was a fear the original earliest part of the school was going too.

Yours must have been shite then. The Bursar St pool was always out of action.

Good that it's being appropriated for the children of the working class then!

Jake is still with us. The others long gone. Tom Robinson ( no not that one Kingston) is having an exhibition of his art at Caistor this Saturday.

Bloody hell. Our paddling pool is nearly as big as that.

Now, that's why you used to see lads climbing over that wooden fence after a night in Clouds.
