Included is a picture of some other members of the maintenance team from about 1983.
Some of the pupils responded to my comments about Dave Smith who was very popular with some of the pupils,
some of whom kept in touch with him after the closure of the school..
From left to right: Dave Smith (Boiler man), Harry Bowden (handy man), John Horner (Head Gardener) and
Raymond Pickles (gardener). Now, all these are sadly deceased.
Also shown are three other staff members. I wonder who can put names to these people?
Pictured in my flat at Linton in May 1985, from left to right:
Chris Thornton (chef), Audrey Scholes (domestic) and Sybil (I can't remember surname but she was the bursar
and eventually married one of the teachers, Ross MacDonald).
There are two views of the fire that destroyed the gym. One of me, messing about on the bins.
With a shot of Geoff Holmes cleaning the windows of what looks like dorm 4, senior girls. (old dorm 6).
Harry Bowden was the last member of the maintenance team employed at Linton., staying on for a time
after the school closure as caretaker.
