Attempting to write a book re Spondon House, with all the proceeds being donated to the Nightingales/Macmillian Unit DRI. Would appreciate if I can borrow any type of photograph relating to Spondon House.

You are welcome to use any Spondon House School photos included on my web page "A Village Remembered". The link appears on this Spondononline web page.
All my 7 siblings and many cousins attended SHCS from 1931 to 1944.
I left in 1939 as WWII broke out. Good luck with your project!
sincerely yours,
Ken Porter

I am working on a book that covers my time at Spondon House School from 1944 to 1947 and am eager to obtain a photograph of the school for around that period. Can anyone help?

Contributors to this thread may have spotted that we are planning to reprint the Dr Kenedy book on Spondon School "Ingredere ut proficias" - once we've overcome copyright challenge!
As part of that project, we want to "bring it up to date" with what's been happening on Spondon education scene since mid-1960's. Any input would be welcome!

I can remember back in the summer of 1963 going to Breadsall Agricultural Collage, about 20 of us 4th year Boys went with a teacher Mr Bentley, after lunch we were allowed to make our own way on our bicycles along Locko road, something that would not have been allowed today.
But the roads were very quiet back then, We waiting at the collage gates for him to arrive when we a passenger train passed on its way from Nottingham to Friergate on that soon to be closed Friergate line.
We were met by an instructor from the collage who took us around and showed us all the then latest farming methods.
They let us go home just after 3pm and told us to go home not to school, riding home by what is now the Blue Bell dairy I had an Idea to save me from going all the way down to the White Swan, and then having to climb back up the hill to Dale Road and then to my then home in Hazel Drive.
I went along the footpath across the fields, to Moor End, as Sandcroft Road hadn't been built back then.
