WSPANE banner Wetherby High School: View of the playground circa 1974

Do you remember:
  • lining up in form groups to go into assembly?
  • the slide when the weather turned icy?
  • when conkers were banned?
  • swapping football cards? "got, got, got, not got, got....."

The old house in the background is no more - but who used to live there? King Tetley, apparently.
From Stephen Durrell: the big building in the background is Scrutan's, which became a hospital which in turn became an ambulance station.

See how it looks now (2006, 2007)
