Mark and his brother David both attended Gosforth Grammar School.. The school was originally in one site with a good playing field right by the Great North Road. Then the council decided to build a "new school"...Older pupils moved to the new school with building not yet complete. When .. on on the opposite side of the road... and a bit further down from what is now Regent Centre. I 'studied' in both the old and the new school buildings. Just before moving over to the 'new school' I remember chatting with two brothers about school and the future.. They said "Most of the teachers think we are not good at anything.. but the music teacher says we are not bad." Mark did some folk singing with Sue Hercombe, sister of Peter who was in my class..The old site later became Gosforth Central Middle.. and my children Suzanne and Alex both both went there... and then across the road to what became Gosforth High School..
