These rooms belonged to the Domestic Science and Art departments in my day. Mr. Skelton was my art teacher. He’s a lovely guy and I met him again a few years ago when I visited one of his art exhibitions and bought a print. I’m proud to say that I also have an original work by George Skelton, he drew my Dad’s retirement card. The (half) ground floor classroom was my form room for a while with Mrs Whitehead. Sadly I have missed the demolition of the hall, it must have come down in a day because earlier in the week it was there, now it’s gone! See Thorp Academy Page for previous photographs and articles.
Old Reception, you can see the bottom of the stairs
Where’s the hall gone
