Wonderful recollections and lots of school and social history. Anyone who attended North End will chuckle at some of of the stories! Trinity Croydon Alumni John Whitgift Foundation #croydon Museum of Croydon Archivist CNHSS

Magic Stick, Egg Stand, Toast Rack…..no, not the prizes on the generation game but Chips Brierley’s special woodworking training to get us to learn woodworking techniques. Does anyone still have their Magic Stick? Send me a good photo please. Trinity Croydon Alumni Trinity School

It was lovely to be part of our Trinity School heritage and archive open day today, as we welcomed back some alumni and their family to tour round the school and reminisce. John Whitgift Foundation Trinity Croydon Alumni #archives #Heritage


The new Trinity Rugby 1st XV shirts with a nod to the ‘chocolate brown’ of former years when we had the Cambridge Blue plus Brown stripes. Does anyone still have their 1950/1960s shirt? Trinity RFC Trinity Croydon Alumni John Whitgift Foundation #Rugby #croydon


We pay homage to a former student who lost his life in the Battle of Britain in October 1940. Peter McIntosh is commemorated on both our War Memorial & on a special plaque dedicated to our four BofB pilots, who lost their lives. Trinity Croydon Alumni Trinity School John Whitgift Foundation


In memory of ROY & BRIEN CURRIE, who died October 13th, 1915; and GORDON CURRIE, who died October 15th, 1915. The three brothers were students at Whitgift Middle School and sadly lost their lives at home to a Zeppelin bomb. RIP Trinity Croydon Alumni Trinity School John Whitgift Foundation


109 years ago this month, the Cadet Corps was formed at Whitgift Middle School. Their first duty, unfortunately, was to parade for the funeral of the three Currie brothers, who were killed by a Zeppelin bomb on their home. Trinity Croydon Alumni Trinity School John Whitgift Foundation



During this year’s Remembrance, we recall the heroic story of Captain Ernest Bonny who, in WW2 and without any training, diffused multiple mines and booby trap bombs to safeguard his platoon’s progress in Burma. He was awarded the Military Cross. Trinity Croydon Alumni Trinity School

Then and now. The Headmaster’s corridor in the 1960s and also 2024…….not much has changed - the rubber flooring is still looking in great condition. Do you remember the name of Oliver Berthoud’s dog? Trinity Croydon Alumni John Whitgift Foundation Trinity School #archive


The final act of Remembrance 2024. All the metal poppies representing our Fallen former students & masters, have now been removed from our War Memorial Garden, laid out side by side & packed away for another year. We will always remember them. Trinity Croydon Alumni Trinity School
