I was a boarder at Steyning Grammar School from 1959 to 1966. My memories of schooldays are mixed, with many good memories but some less so. I suppose it's only now looking back that I can appreciate what I gained. In fact, it wasn't until I read George Barker's "The Slog Smugglers" that I recalled so many of the very funny things that happened there. I went back to Steyning in the middle of 2005, and took this photograph of the front of the school. The hanging tiles that used to face the building have been removed, revealing a very attractive half-timbered frontage, but otherwise the school is very much as I recall. Except that no-one wears caps any more. After reading his book, I got in touch with George to discuss the possibility of putting together a CD of photographs, magazines, and so on, which otherwise get locked way in attics. He had been given a lot of 'ephemera' and was wondering what to do with it. Hence this CD. My thanks go to George Barker and Roger Tilbury for making this CD possible.

George Barker has numbered each of the school photographs, and Roger Tilbury has collated the names against these identification numbers - and you can help us by filling in the gaps and telling us where we have made mistakes. My hat off to both of them for persisting with such a mind-numbingly boring task. Top of page
