School help please!

My mother went to a short-hand typing school in Swansea in the 60's called Greggs. It was somewhere near where Dynevor school used to be.

Can't seem to find anything about it on the internet. Strange! Anyone any clues???

Hi Vasquez109, how are you !!!

It might just be a co-incidence but Greggs or "Gregg" is actually a type of shorthand

Hi Wendi,

Thanks, but she said the school was called greggs. It was 2 schools next to each other apparently. One did one version of shorthand and the other did a different version.

Im stumped! How can something from the last 40 years not be on the internet. Not even on friends-reunited!

ARGH!!!!

Perhaps a visit back to County Hall to view the old maps would sort it !!!

I think you're right. Strange though isnt it!

Dear Vasquez109

My mother also went to this college around 1933 or so. She told us it was situated somewhere near Carlton Terrace which is parallel with Walters Road. I do remember a large stone building on the right above Carlton Terrace but don't really know if that was Greggs. It was called after the type of shorthand taught there. I too would like to know more about it.

I think the other College next door was called Pitmans

Wendi! Your message seems to link to a book about Derby County.
