Bizarre question perhaps but as I left hull in 1983 my memory isn't what it was. Is the old decrepit school at the back of the east stand Greatfield HS? Every week it drives me barmy trying to remember....!

I always thought it was Isaac Newton ... from the odd game I played there.
Google maps seem to agree

It was definiteley called Greatfield high school in the 1970's and 1980's.
A lot of high schools in Hull changed their names in later years so it may well have become Isaac Newton at some point.

It was Greatfield I went there the other part has been knocked down and rebuilt I think it changed its name to Isaac Newton later on

Ditto the above 2 posts. Definitely Greatfield until late 80's

Ditto the above 2 posts. Definitely Greatfield until late 80's don't know when it became Isaac Newton probably 1989.

Went there 1969 to 72 there was 3 schools all together. Issac Newton. Elizabethan and Shakespeare which combined to make greatfield high school. Great schools and great times

Isaac Newton and Elizabethan hall were the senior schools one girls one boys Shakespeare wasn't anything to do with them it was the junior school when Greatfield was the senior I went to both

You went to school?

Yeah and I left with 8 GCSEs

you might be right about Shakespeare Frankie, but from 69 to 72 it was mixed classes for sure, I can remember the loverly looking girls lol,

I even remember the teachers ,mr gosling,mr taylor, mr bulmer, mr Dalton, etc etc, absol great days

Yeah I was on about when it first opened Greatfield was in the middle with junior schools ashwell and Shakespeare on either side

Right . in its day a great school loved my time there

When I was there we got a bye right through to the cup final after a game against david lister ended up with about 200 kids fighting nobody would play us except bransholme who beat us in the cup final

great days frankie

1957-1960 Newton Hall was the only mixed senior school it was a grammar school until they built Elizebethan Hall as a mixed senior secondry modern, 1962 ish Shakespeare Hall was built as another secondry modern mixed senior school. Ashwell avenue, Stockwell avenue and Oldfleet were the junior schools. The school remaining is/was Isaac Newton.

Oldfleet was a primary school when i went there ashwell and Shakespeare were the junior schools but if you went in both schools ashwell looked like a primary and Shakespeare looked like a senior

You are right about Oldfleet, Ashwell also had a primary, my younger siblings went to it, it was directly behind our house. Shakespeare was initially built as a senior school, I left 'Lizzy' in 64 and many of my mates was at Shakey. I didn't know it was changed to a junior school.

Wasn't it Stockwell primary the one your on about

NO

Went to Greatfield 80-85. The two main buildings were Newton and Elizabethan Hall. There was a sixth form block in between.

The main teachers I remember were the Headmaster MR Dickinson, His wife took me for A Level Economics, was a great teacher, Elliott Oppell (the Hull City commentator, his nickname was ‘wobble gob’ you never sat in the front row if you could help it, otherwise you got a shower), Elliott Morley (the MP who diddled his expenses) Eddie Blackburn, the Hull City keeper, Mr Kissen, MR Rogerson the PE teacher (think he later went on to be headmaster) and Mrs Goulding.

Shakespeare was a mixed junior school; I went to St Richards the other side of Poorhouse Lane. Some great memories there too, 4 years playing in the rugby team, Mr Flanagan was our coach, great bloke, I think he was a cousin of Flash. In the final year you got to go on the Rugby trip to Wembley. Well it just happened to be 1980. Great memories of the day and the train journey, we were at the Hull end but were Steve Hubbard scored that try. Happy Days

I went to St Richards when it was a junior high and was coached my Mr Flanagan.

Had many a good scrap with lads from Shakespeare on the railway track!

Played and lost quite heavily every time against St Richards when at Alderman Cogan. Them and Sutton Park were probably 2 of the best teams around 1986/7 ish

When I was at Shakespeare St Richards were the easybeats 50+ wins every time us and Biggan Hill were the best sides
