5.0 out of 5 stars Scintilating!
Also a former pupil of the Crossley & Porter (final intake in 1984) and Crossley Heath I found this an excellent read. Strongly recommended to anyone who attended the school or has an interest in local history. The book is well written and well illustrated and a nice addition to anyone's bookshelves.
4.0 out of 5 stars A look back at a school moving forward...
A book of 2 halves, the historical information is well written, I'd have prefered more detail in the form of local maps showing the locations of various off-site buildings. I was a pupil in 1983 at Crossley & Porter, leaving in 1988 from Crossley Heath. I think the book would have benefitted from some ex-pupil / staff observations and anecdotes eg: Steve Eggleton stalking the corridors to wrestle your bag 'off your shoulder' or the addition of 'lions' to the bannisters to stop us sliding down them. There was always rumoured to be an underground tunnel connecting the main school to boarders accommodation - just a school myth?A school worthy of a recorded history, Heath is covered, but I suspect Crossley's will always be Crossley's...
3.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality print and photos
Very poor quality product
5.0 out of 5 stars Crossley Heath School
As a former pupil at the Crossley & Porter School in Halifax during the 1960's I found the book an absorbing read. It is very well illustrated, there is a good balance of older and newer photographs, and the three joint authors have researched their subject thoroughly. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the Crossley & Porter and Heath schools, and in fact to anyone with an interest in history.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and well-balanced text covering the history of Crossley's and Heath
Well written and has many interesting photographs. Inevitably there is a some photographic over-emphasis on games teams but no doubt these are the most abundant photographs and will be welcomed by those who were participants.
4.0 out of 5 stars would have liked more details on the orphans
Very informative, would have liked more details on the orphans.
