A most pleasant ‘Afternoon Tea-Day’ was held in Ashton on Sat. May 25^th, where former students and retired staff, along with present staff, reminisced about their time in the hallowed halls and corridors of Ashton school as they remembered it, before the wrecking ball would descend on the building.

The Parents Committee did tremendous work in providing delicious, freshly cooked food and desserts for everyone who attended, ensuring a warm welcome, and created ample opportunity for lots of chat over the ‘cuppa’.

Many former students and retired staff travelled long distances to share their cherished memories and stories of time spent in Ashton.

Old uniforms going back to the early 20^th century, awards, plaques, newspaper cuttings, photographs and roll books helped to ‘jog’ memories, and bring the past to life for many. where to buy domain name . Bella stefan
