WELCOME

Welcome to our TGS site which has been set up to give Old Thornburians a focus for their nostalgia.

Thanks to our many contributors it has developed into a very general site to appeal to all ages who attended the school (including staff!).

We hope that you enjoy browsing the contents, and welcome all contributions.

Archive Photographs
12 pages of photographs,
mainly from the 40s - 60s, are available on the site.
Many are still to be captioned, and help with names, dates, locations etc. much appreciated.
Storage
It has finally been agreed that all of the archive materials will in future be stored at Thornbury Museum. Any further offers of artefacts to add to this valuable resource would still be much appreciated.

Some info about Eileen Walker, who sadly died in September.
