Stand Grammar School

Church Lane, Whitefield, Manchester
Demolished 2001 AD

History of the school

Some interesting material has come into my possession and  I think it is worth showcasing it  on a purpose-built History page.  In time,  much more material will appear here (that is, as much as you all send me!) but even though this page is far from finished, it is at least started.  Therefore I shall waste no  more time. Publish and be damned! - Arthur Wellesley,  1st Duke of Wellington.

If anyone has any material of historical interest, do send it!


Some Masters and Scholars  (Adobe Acrobat PDF format, 20 MBytes)  by William Hewitson, with a preface by George Longman, dating from 1915.

Stand Grammar School - a 20th century history  (Adobe Acrobat PDF format) - Originally presented as the after-dinner (or pre-toast) speech at the 2006 Old Standians' Dinner, this original work by Dr Geoffrey Barnes  covers the  birth of  The School as we knew it,  the start of the Old Standians' Association and all the headmasters of the 20th Century.
