Birches 85, Federation 1910-1925 City Souvenir Edition (Birches Head High School)

Published by Birches Head High School in 1985, 64 pages. A4 size booklet (A30UWSO)

From the foreword by the then headmaster, F Salt: Our readers cannot have failed to notice that 1985 is a year of particular significance for the City of Stoke-on-Trent. It hardly needs at this stage to be repeated that the year marks the Seventy Fifth Anniversary of Federation and the Sixtieth Anniversary of the granting of City status. For those of us who were born here and have spent most of our lives here it is an occasion when we .ay deservedly allow ourselves to feel a certain amount of civic pride. This edition of the Birches Head High School magazine is our contribution to that occasion. We hope that you, the reader, will find something of interest whatever your particular tastes. Finally a word of thanks to all those who have contributed in anyway and in particular to Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Cusack. Without their dedication it could not have been produced.

The condition of the booklet is generally good. The covers have some minor scuffs and blemishes, and light wear along the edges and corners, but the staple spine is intact and all pages are intact, unblemished and bound. Please note this booklet was printed privately, and so lacks the finish of a more professional publication - but this in no way detracts from the fascinating contents!
