I am preparing a history of the Windsor Schools in Hamm (Windsor Boys School and Windsor Girls School).  They operated from 1953 to 1983 in the former Newcastle and Brixton Barracks (and their German army barracks from the mid 1930s).   I am being assisted by a group of former teachers and students from the Windsor society and the various Facebook groups..    
I would be grateful for any information, anecdotes and references, from those who recall the schools, or the barracks.

Steve

Welcome looks like an interesting project you are involved in

I was at your rival King Alfred School from 1953 till 1957 before going onto Welbeck and a career in the Regular Army via Sandhurst

I actually lived in Hamm as a schoolboy for eighteen months when my father was with 5 Armoured Workshop (his Tank Repair area was to become the Girls Gym and of course the Station Cinema became their Assembly Hall. Two of my teachers at Ploen Miss Feerick (the first Headmistress of WGS I believe) and Mr Schofield,an Art Master transferred to Hamm when KAS closed

Will contact you privately shortly.

Hi Steve,

 forgive me if it is the wrong school in Hamm. My elder brother attended a boarding school in Hamm during the mid to late sixties when my father was stationed in Wuppertal. He used to scare me with stories about "pegleg" roaming the corridors at night, who was the ghost of a fighter pilot who crashed into the roof of the school during the war.

 Forced swims in the outdoor pool during the middle of winter weren't very popular either!

Ian

I was at WBS from summer 1966 through to the end of 1967 being one of those in Sandringham House. Indeed I still have a list I created at the time of who was in each of its dormitories plus the names of Sandringham's day boys. I also have a photo of the Bishop with those of us who did their confirmation. If either item is of interest please let me know.

Would a certain David Alderman be on your list by any chance?

Hi
I am George Ross I should be on your list. I was in Sandringham house from 1965 to 1967. Love to have more information. Have many memories I can share and currently writing them into my autobiography. I can only remember one chap his surname was Green. A big guy in my first dorm. Two if our guys regular went to the girls school at night and the girls made one visit to our dorm. I remember two young guys brothers they had cleft palit deformity. Remember many of the pranks we got up too would live to share these
I am 73 and in January be 74 but remember the school as if it were yesterday. Have many fond memories. I can provide my email address if you would like to correspond and help you with what I remember. I was in 1066 and all that play.

Steven

Many thanks very good quality photos. I do remember some of the teachers and the head master. I especially remember two of the lady teachers. Wonderful days of my youth. I believe you may have the names of the bays in each dormitory from Sandringham house in 65 to 67 I would be very interested if you can share this with me and pass on anyone who is still living that is on this forum. Love to find out what happened to them in their lives. I have been blessed with great health and a very good recall memory. That is what I am using to recall details back through time until in one case I was 18 months old and for some unknown reason my own birth in Aberdeen hospital. Best regards for share this post. Once I have written all my memories of Eindsof boys school I am willing to share what will be part if my autobiography. George Ross
