\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMick Gajic<\/b> I enjoyed it, my bunk was just inside the door in the centre of the dorm, because I had a wardrobe and it was kept by the center wall, mine was top bunk<\/span><\/div>\n


\nMichael Billings<\/b> I was in Dudley House too and my bed was approx. by the third of the single windows (Bottom Bunk). I was there 1954-1958. Mr Oxendale was our House Master who’s room was at the far end of the picture on the right and Mr Webb then Mr Tinsella (Gym Teacher) was in the end nearest to the picture being taken. My friends were John Richardson and Trevor Hancox. Do you remember them?<\/p>\n

Stephen Donald<\/b> No Michael I arrived in 1957 so I would be at the other end of the dorm from you, my bed was when I started was at the far end of this dorm from where I took the picture I was on top bunk Pete Wood was on bottom bunk.

\nStephen Donald and Rosemary Webb remembered there was a cricket pavillion on the lower field near where you climb the style back from a cross country run. It wasn’t the in 1953 apparently and was gone by 1962 but stephen remembers it was hit by lightening in 1960, so was probably pulled down. Anyone else remember anything about that or even better have a photograph of it?<\/span><\/div>\n
