Thank you for all your time and effort making this video. I was at Shrubs in the early 70s and remember Mr Francis who is pictured in your video behind Tom Williams. I was forever in trouble and always getting punished but have so many good memories. Sports days were always down the Rec and if I could sneek away on the walk back to the school, sweets from Mr Bakers shop opposite the school always followed. I remember once sitting in morning assembly when my dog came bursting through the doors jumping over rows of sitting children, trying to find me; this gave me another visit to the headmasters office to add to my already impressive tally. Mr Francis was a fine man in charge of a fabulous School.
Thank you for your excellent book on Shrubland Street and the school. I have enjoyed reading it so much and have learnt a lot that I didn't know! My time at "Shrubs" was very happy, even though it was just after the war and times were quite hard. Mr Gradwell remains in my memory as one of the nicest people I have ever met.
