Schools Out

This new, well-illustrated book was launched at our exhibition on June 2 and 3 and is selling really well. The book covers the life and times in the building now known as Melbourne Assembly Rooms, which closed its doors as Melbourne Secondary School 41 years ago. Former teachers and pupils have contributed greatly to this publication, which we are certain will appeal to the many Melbourne and Ticknall people who attended as well as students of architecture and the history of education in a wider geographical context.

Our price is now £15 per book, buyer collect. Postage and packing to destinations within the UK is an extra £4.20 1st class or £3.70 2nd class, and at cost to other countries. For more details of how to order, please contact the Treasurer.

Alternatively, you can purchase a copy at £20 from F M Heath & Co’s Nursery at Woodhouses.

Also on sale at Melbourne Post Office.
