Book Synopsis
Wolverhampton Grammar School was founded in 1512 and has been on its present site since 1875.

All the major changes in the school are shown, from the opening of Big School in 1875, through the middle years of the twentieth century when the school''s status changed several times, to the advent of co-education in the late 1990s. In between are countless events which will be remembered fondly by past students: the visits of the Queen in 1962 and the Duchess of Kent in 1989, the opening of numerous buildings, sports days, Founder''s days and much more.

Staid groups of prefects and staff at the end of the nineteenth century contrast with co
