SCHOOL REUNION
Venue: Hitchin British Schools Museum
The British Schools Museum in Hitchin is looking for past pupils of the Queen Street School. The old British School became the Queen Street School in 1903 and remained as such until it closed in 1969.
The Museum is looking for memories of school life as it prepares to celebrate 200 years since the first school opened on the site in 1810.
Come back and see us - and perhaps meet your old school friends - at a School Reunion on Friday May 7th.
If you can't make it then, come any time we're open and say hello! www.hitchinbritishschools.org.uk
