Terry Smith wrote and published a wonderful book called St Peter's -- Independent Days, which is a history of St Peter's from 1870 to 1980.
Some of the pictures above come from it.
Many thanks, Terry.
We got our copies from Tommy Browning. Contact details available from Gerry Newman and/or Ginge Creagh

Does anyone have any idea where a copy of Terry Smith's "St. Peter's : Independent Days" can be had? I'd like to order one.
The photo of Bro. Ives Patrick with his real name and thumbnail history portray a sympathetic and sincere looking young man. Came as a bit of a surprise, I must say.
As for the Moonbreakers (who thought that name up?!) Thanks for that. I don't know about the other lads, but I'm still stuck in the music trade and play a great deal of Celtic music now, mainly on the fiddle, but also in small Celtic chamber groups (Harpsichord, fiddle and viola). Lots of fun. Like the film business, it beats working.
I already posted a msg, but I'm not sure if it was sent. I was a boarder at St. Peters Independent Grammar School, Southbourne, from 1956-1961. I would dearly love to find a copy of Terry Smith's "St. Peter's: Independent Days" - did you succeed in finding a copy?
Does anyone remember Brother Oswald (sport) or Brother Austin?
My email is christian AT gibson.nl
I would love to hear from former school pupils.
