The Flats at Oerlinghausen are nice - they wouldn't look out of place in a Suburb of Moscow or Budapest!

We lived in the 3 storey ones in Florence Nightingale and then moved into the battleship.

I remember Oerlinghausen and the fair in the old town very well. Lived in Floremce Nightingale Str and went to Kings School from 1st to 5th year. Brilliant memories

I went to Kings too! if memory serves me right from 72 -73 ish. Loved that school hated leaving it. Hated missing even one day. friends were the best ever!! I remember the 'Disco' room we would hang out in during breaks. Had a history teacher that kept kicking me out of class to sit in the stationery room/cupboard. He told me I spelt my name wrong told him he was the one spelling it wrong cos it is Belgian spelling. Great times great memories.

I was in Lancs (1L2). You or your parents may remember my.dad. he was the Estate Warden there and loved his grass (always screaming at us to attempting to make a short cut from the pavement to "get off the grass!!".)

Cant remember which house I was in. I was in Tudor I think and Mr Johns was the head of Tudor if I remember right. Sorry dont recall being told to get off the grass although no doubt I was told to. Both my parents have passed now.
