Hollins
- Thread starter crowey
- Start date
I left in 72..so I was a big boy you would have got a slap!
I started Hollins in 1977. It well confused me on the first day when I mistakedly went in the boys yard instead of the girls yard, that was really embarassing. Mr Bacon, Mr Cross, Mr Vizzard (remember learning the barn dancing for the Christmas parties) oh what memories!!!
I belive Hollins is now A college of technology or something now is that right? I took a look at the website. They look like real posh kids from up hollins lane who go now. Ive been living in Australia for over 20yrs & things have really changed, Ive only been back to Accy once since i moved over here.
I went to hollins in 71 -76 had a few run ins with the mad headmaster nutter once got 12 of the best he hated me any excuse to give me the cane, went to re union bumped into him he nearly S**t himself but i just shook his hand and asked how he was, he was totally gob smacked

Believe me crowey looks can be deceiving........I know a lot of kids who go to hollins now and they are anything but posh.....the uniform is nice though.
I recall the metalwork teacher ..he used a big lump of wood to whack us
and the French teacher Mr Haydock..he used a size 12 pump with a smiley face drawn on it!
I left Hollins in 76, I remember Mr bacon Science i think, Mr nutter by name and nature, does anyone remember Miss Mudd? we used to go to her parents farm for days out from school. Anyone remember Mr hale ? Mr Dean PE Teacher.? I remember cross country running being chased off nelsons farm.
mancie i remember that metal work teacher was a swine when in a foul mood once broke a metal work file across my elbow.
also the lads being mad on the pe teacher miss cooper and being dissapointed when they found out she was gay.
The maths teacher Mr cooper had a bigger pump size 14 lads used to be scared to death of him.
Saw Mr Blackburn down town the other day he suffering badly with his knees and had it replaced in an operation.
Bacon had the nick name danish from the old danish bacon advert in the early 70's

I remember once, a lad jumped of the fire escape from the art building.He was a couple of years above me, but i remember it like it was yesterday. It was a bloody long drop too, He just walked away on to the grass between the main building and the ROSLA block (rasing of school leaving age). & we used to stand on the fish pond when it was frozen over. The one that was outside the main building entrance. Mr Hale, did he teach R.E? I cant remember the name of that really fat music teacher. Eh lads do you remember miss bibby at the 1st year annex, she was hot with those mini skirts she used to wear, what legs!
