Friday music thread? Maybe a bit tenous but on 11:12 - Nov 28 by Keno
Another Old Boy and I am assuming he means a Northgate teacher, but I dont know which one
I've had a squint on Wikipedia for windmills twelve miles from Ipswich but Buttrum's in Woodbridge is too close and Saxtead at almost seventeen miles is too far away - unless Trevor Nunn lived five miles north of town.
I'm wondering if the teacher was the louche Mr. Richards who was around for my first two years at Northgate, so could have taught Trevor Nunn in the sixth form at around the same time. Definitely not Downs who arrived a year a more after that...and could never have inspired anyone.

I feel I should remember that name but it's a complete blank. In fact it has got me worried about how many I might have forgot. I was lucky to have John 'Fred' Eaton as a form teacher and I can remember Faux for French, Finch for Art, Cousins for History, Pringle got biology, Wilding for music, Armstrong I think was headmaster in my first year but can't recall who came after, the fearsome Fensome was deputy head, Andrews for PE, Parrott for chemistry ? and I think that is about it.

It was Peter Hewett. I had him as an English teacher in my early years at Northgate and I remember he had a particular love of the works of Joseph Conrad, Dylan Thomas and M.R. James, some of whose ghost stories were set in Suffolk.
Talking about Northgate English teachers, there was this (paywalled) article in the EADT about Neil Salmon not long ago, but I can't say I remember him.

I'm probably a bit younger than you but I do remember Eaton and Faux.
Ockleton was the headmaster, and others I remember of a slightly older vintage are Horsbrough (history), Walshaw (geography), Gosling and Bristow (maths), Hewitt (English) Osborne (Latin) and Payne (RE).

Ah, Osborne, the reason I ended up in the 'B' stream rather than the 'A' stream....well him or the Latin language...or my inability to learn much of it in the first year. Hewitt is ringing the faintest of bells as a name but I can't put a face to it. Gosling rings a bell too, swept back, greying. hair and a chubby face ?

Gosling was our form tutor in the fourth and fifth years. He took us for rugby in the fourth year and his catchphrase in class was "Volunteers for detention keep on talking".
There was also Ian Robin, who was a PE teacher and took the Ist XV, but he was a little younger than the others I have mentioned.
