Retro Bells - Haxey Junior School life recalled
Malcolm, 60, said everyone pictured was either his age or approaching their 60th year and added: “I remember my school days very clearly. I have some great memories of those times.”
Haxey resident, Malcolm, who turned 60 in January, is pictured on the back row of the image on the far left. He further added: “I still keep in contact with everyone in the school picture and it’s strange to look back now at the way we used to be having grown up together.

I went from this junior school to a secondary school in Yarborough and then to Axholme Secondary School, but not before a full year as a boarder at a school in Caistor in Lincolnshire, where my brother boarded.”
He said he still referred to his old teachers of the time by their surnames and said these included Mrs Ashton and Mr England.
