Hi, everyone,
As a comparative newcomer to the KBGS website, looking through the various photo collections, I came across, in the cricket set, a photo, labelled 1954 (although the date is said to be unknown), in which a Mr Morgan is standing on the far left. However, Mr Morgan, who was my Latin teacher in 1943-1944, left the school in 1944, to be succeeded by Mr Eden, so the Cricket photo must show a team prior to 1944. Also, I spotted the lad sitting second left on the cricket photo on part 1 of the 1940 panorama, on the far right of the back row, which would confirm the earlier date, while Mr Morgan can be seen, seated fourth from the left on part 4, next to Mr Midgeley. Incidentally, on the same panorama on part 3, there is a lady seated next but one to Mr Hind, on his left, who, I believe, taught German, but I cannot recall her name - any one out there who remembers her, along with a Mrs Bushel, (usually referred to as 'Ma Peck' - 4 pecks = 1 bushel - geddit?) who taught 1A mathematics?
Hopefully,
Derek Horsman

Hi Derek

The German teacher was Ma Whitehead. I am the boy with dark skin and black eyes sitting in front of her. To my right is John Poppleton and to my left is Bryan Ramsden, who were both in my form for the whole of my 7 years at KBGS. In front of me is Brian Spencer (brother of violinist Joan) and to his left Kenneth Watson (if my memory hasn’t failed me). They were probably in their first year at the time, but I knew them as they lived near me
.
Regarding the cricket team – as Geoff Clapham was captain I think it would be dated around 1939-40 as that was the year he was capped (see photo in Uniforms section). He also was a near neighbour of mine, but was several years older than me.
