Sion Hill Secondary Modern / Middle School - Kidderminster

Left here in 1972.... its been empty for 5 or so years and is due to be demolished soon. 50 new houses will go on the site..... we think the playing field at the rear will not be built on.

Thanks for making this record of the old school Paul. Very sad to watch though. I was there in the sixties. George Green was headmaster but it was his deputy, Miss Talbot who ruled the roost. I noticed the swimming pool had gone and the fives courts had been capped over. Most kids nowadays wouldn't even know what a fives court was. Can't say "They were the best years of my life" but George made sure we had a good basis for future education and did try to Instil a sense of citizenship.

Ira Cox Thanks for your comment Ira. George Green and Miss Talbot were there during my time.... and I agree Miss Talbot was "Feared" I enjoyed my time there. Regards Paul

@@PaulDonovan I wonder if this is the same Miss Talbot who taught at Foley Park Community school (I was there during the mid 90's).

[@christinedade5396]

[@PaulDonovan]

I was at Sion Hill from 1966 - 71: have some really great memories of my time there - some not so good... Sad to see the old place awaiting demolition though. Anyone know what became of George Henry Green after I departed for pastures new (left Kidderminster for good in late 1971, so completely lost touch with everyone I went to school with)?
