My name is Adrian Stokes, I have been living in Germany since 1968.
While browsing in the Internet to find out about my old school in Buxton (see blog title), I recently found a photo of the boarders of Devonshire House taken in 1954(?). See: http: Buxton Online Derbyshire Peak District Archives. I am in the third row, fourth from left; Peter Marsh, Don Howe and John Hollins are to the right of me. There is also an old picture of the school to be found under: http: Genuki pictures in the past Buxton College Buxton Derbyshire. Sadly, the old schoolhas gone...
Browsing again today while looking for the name
J O H N H O L L I N S, I was delighted to find an article in the "Buxton Advertiser" about the performance of "Twelfth Night" in the Buxton Playhouse directed by Alan H. Williams. Do any of the "boys" in Devonshire House or in the former school remember me? Does anyone perhaps have a photo or photos of that performance? Does John Hollins, whom I last saw 1967 or 1968 in Stuttgart, perhaps have an e-mail address - or any of the old boys mentioned in the above article? If so, please contact me at
