Just spent a great 2 hours searching through the site. It's true what they say, 'Your days at school are the best of your life! You just don't know it at the time. Fabulous site. I loved seeing old friends and teachers. Keep it up. | |

What a lovely surprise to find this site. Thanks for the memories every one. Special thanks to Sheila and Dave from Rosemary Scarrott nee Burton, former House Captain of Price. | |

1965-69 Celts. Talbot house. What wonderful memories these pages evoked! I sang along with gusto to the School Song but broke down at the chorus. I remember the last time the school sang it, in the Sports Hall at the end of the school year (1968). We had been told we were not singing it but word went round that some older pupils were going to start it off and we were all to join in. I always enjoyed the School Song but never as much as I did on that last day. | |

Just found HGS website after spending a few hours on the Brierley Village website - link given. I started at HGS in 1959 in Romans and was in Talbot House. I have already seen a message from a very dear friend, Janice Hanwell who I hope will get in touch with me. (Email address is on the Visitors A-Z) | |

I attended HGS from 1964-68. Anyone who wants to get in touch, please do. I'd love to hear from you. | |

I attended HGS from 1962 to 1965. I was in Celts and Talbot House. My parents then moved away from the area. My next grammar school was all girls. I always regretted leaving Hemsworth, especially as my dad (Barry) had gone through the same school. Funny to have had the same Headmaster and the same English master, Mr. Colette. Am I the only pupil to also have her dad pictured exactly 20 years previously in 1942 and both of us named in our respective form photos? I can't wait to tell him. | |

Lovely to see the school and some of the staff. Not many photos of students from my era, though. I attended from 1960 to 1967 and was in Talbot House. The site is great - look forward to seeing it develop. | |

I attended HGS from 1959 until 1966. I was in Holgate House and Danes then 2A, 3A, 4A etc. Had a few laughs looking at the panoramic photographs - it is a shame there are not more photos of my year as I lost all my school photos in a house fire in 1964. Keep up the good work - this site brings back some happy school memories! | |

What a lovely site initiating fond memories. I attended from 1964 to 1969 (Danes 1, 2, 3 and Romans lV and V) and was in Holgate house. | |

I have just found the HGS website and find it really interesting. I was there from 1945-1950. At that time my name was Joan Hardwick. | |
| Kathleen Rowney, HGS 1954-60 | 01 May 2005 00:00:00 |
I would like to get in touch with Pat Ward (HGS 1954-60) and Joyce Horn (HGS 1954-59). | |

Not looked for a year. It just gets better and better. | |

I was a pupil at HGS from 1949 to 1955. What memories this site has brought back: the Green Gate, the spring flowers, the wonderful grounds and so many excellent teachers. I remember so well performing in Toad of Toad Hall in the "Dell" in about 1950-51 and I shall have a look for that photograph that I know I have somewhere!! | |

I attended HGS from Sept. 43 to June 48. After much travelling I returned to Yorkshire on my retirement. I have re-visited HGS and was saddened to see that the gardens in front were now covered with unsympathetic buildings but then it is progress. I always remembered in Spring when we entered the bottom gate and girls went left and boys right. In the Spring it was a mass of daffodils. If there are any re-unions from that time I would love to attend. | |

This is a fantastic site. I have always told my wife I couldn't remember anyone except Patrick Thwaites, Terry Boyce and Johnny Willoughby from my school days. Seeing all those photos brought many names back including Dorothy Poole who used sit next to me in the fourth form. Memories keep jumping into my head since I first started looking. Great. | |

Just entered the site thanks to Sheila Kelsall and I think its wonderful. It brings back so many memories, not all of them good but what the heck! Keep up the good work! | |

The site brings back a lot of memories. I found myself on the site in class 5T 1966/67. I attended 1962-67. My First Form master was 'Taffy' Davies. I also resided in the 'Dog ole' 1963/64. My House was Guest. The best teacher for me was Mr. Burnell. Great Website. | |

I attended the school from 1957-1962, my House Guest. I was pleased to see a picture of 5S in 1961-62 and the faces brought back many memories. I will study the picture and try to fill in the gaps. | |

Marvellous site. A lot of names are missing from the 1949-54 era. I was in Holgate House. | |
| Janet Bonds (now Callander) | 11 November 2004 00:00:00 |
How marvellous to see all those faces on the panoramic photos after all these years. When I've had time to study them in more detail I will try to name a few more for the record. I was in Price and left in 1966 (L6). | |

Listening to BBC radio on my PC I did some web searches and found this wonderful site. So many happy memories. This school was instrumental in my going to college (the first in the family). I am forever grateful. I am now living and working in the US but please keep in touch. Unfortunately when I left (1968) we had just become a Comprehensive school. | |
